      The Hyde Park Barracks Appeal

      With four years in planning and 13 months of site works, the Hyde Park Barracks renewal project is an impressive achievement that has seen the Barracks reach a new benchmark in museum practice.

      The UNESCO World Heritage-listed site is layered with emotional stories delivered through cutting-edge innovation, redefining the heritage experience and bringing our complex past to life more authentically than ever before.

      • support ongoing work to ensure the protection and conservation of the 200-year-old site
