New South Wales Corrective Services Museum

Are you curious about the rich penal history of NSW? Then the Corrective Services Museum in Cooma is just the place for you to visit. Located between Cooma Court House and the Correctional Centre in Cooma, the Museum displays a collection of objects related to punishment and crime from the mid 19th century such as manacles and leg irons, convict and prisoner clothing, weapons and escape devices, photos and visual documentation. The museum provides an insight into the daily routine of jails from early days through to modern times. Minimum security inmates are the tour guides through the museum. Inmate arts and crafts are for sale along with Aboriginal art.
