Albany Residency Museum
Albany Residency Museum stands on one of the most historic locations in Western Australia. Point Frederick, where Major Edmund Lockyer landed with a party of soldiers and convicts from the Brig Amity on Boxing Day 1826, and established the first European Settlement in Western Australia. The residency was built in 1856 as a depot for hiring convicts and converted into a house for the government residents in 1873.
It became a branch of the Western Australian Museum in 1975 - the first outside Perth. The museum contains displays on the story of Albany, its plant and animal life, early explorers and Aboriginal culture.
A coin donation is required on entry.
