Not so far from the centre of Sydney, La perouse beach is a nice place to see the beautiful views and to have a realxing surrounding around you. The place actually gives you a piece of mind and the beauty is just sheerless. People also go there for wedding photo shoots because the views are just so awesome.

Interactive and some great pieces. The stories from real people played on TV screens was definitely interesting. The staff are friendly and helpful. Great place for history buffs.

Only a small museum but a really good account of the history of the local area, including a very good Aboriginal record. Definitely worth a visit.

This museum had free entry and a lots of things to see. Good collection of historical things. I like the mannequins drapped with the scrapes found on beach and public places around. That place was so beautiful, scenic and peaceful to enjoy day outing with family and friends.

We visited to La Perouse during the holiday week and walk in to the museum randomly. It is an old buiding built in 1882, free entry and have some historic stories. The drawing arts are beautiful and colorful. We spent half hour here.

Wonderful little museum. Definitely worth the trip as it is surrounded by the ethereal little beach with low tides, perfect for a beach read. The rich history that is seen in this marvellous Victorian Georgian style residence consists of Aboriginal paintings with native Australian wild plants. The walk on the bridge felt like as I was in a fairy tale with the salty breeze of the ocean wind.

Great place to learn more about the history and story of La Perouse

This place was like a spot for movie scene. The great view, cool breeze, fantastic ocean, these were unbelievable. I am so happy that I made another valuable story of life.

This is a great museum! Really interesting about La Perouse the adventurer - the French version of Captain Cook. Also fascinating about the local Indigenous owners. Well worth visiting.

La Perouse museum is chock full of history, and I've learned many things about the French expedition in Australia upon this point. There is plenty of rich culture and tradition from the snake shows to the breathtaking photographs of native aquatic life near Botany Bay. The staff members were extremely helpful and were lovely to talk to.

Small one .... but a lot to catch the eyes of explorer minds and those who love and cherish about history! I reached almost closing time, so didn’t get enough time to study all artifacts or explore the museum itself completely...for sure will come back to learn more...loved to learn about the museum history as a telegraph office, see instruments used a century ago, many on ships during oceanic exploration of world! It was also interesting to know the monument served during the last pandemic (Influenza) a century ago! The museum is beside the scenic backdrop of beautiful Frenchmans Beach, and other beaches and Bare island Fort... A good spot for all those little explorers to unleash their inquisitiveness !!! Cheers!

It is housed in a heritage building at La Perouse .The La Perouse Museum documents the expedition of French explorer the Comte de Laperouse. The Museum also has local Indigenous history and a sea life photographic exhibition.Please do visit bare island Congwong bay beach as well.Its closeby

This museum gave an in-depth historical insight on the history of La Perouse and Australia. It shared unique stories and passed on important knowledge. Staff were amazing.

Awesome views, great for walks surrounded by nice eateries.

Great history of French explorer

Great spot to learn some local history and take in the coastal views. Have a good look around

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place to visit frequently (Original) 자주가는멋진곳

Nothing special. Nothing bad.

(Translated by Google) You can see the history of the small but well organized museum, botany bay. Pretty scenery and wonderful glow are extra bonuses. Admission fee is free. ^^ Was it boat shed in front of museum? I do not remember the name, but it is not too bad to eat on the lawn, take away at FISH & CHIPS $ 10. (Original) 작지만 잘 정리된 박물관, botany bay 지역의 역사에 대해 알 수 있어요. 예쁜 풍경과 멋진 노을은 덤이구요. 입장료 무료에요.^^ 박물관 앞 boat shed 였나? 이름은 확실히 기억이 나지 않지만 FISH& CHIPS $10에 take away 해서 잔디밭에서 먹는 것도 나쁘지 않아요.

Nice

Small place, few items to see

Housed inside the old cable station (1882), the La Perouse Museum has numerous relics from French explorer La Pérouse’s many expeditions, an interesting Aboriginal gallery, and changing exhibitions on local history and environment.

Grand old building in a spectacular location near the entrance to Botany Bay (Sydney NSW) The museum staff were very helpful.

A wealth of history was found here. With Aboriganal art on display. Well worth the visit

Museum is located in middle La Perouse peninsula in the historic Cable station built in 1882 to facilitate telegraph communication between Australia and New Zealand. Has great collections relevant to the 18th century La Perouse expedition and Aboriginal shells and art collections. Some Aboriginal art is for sale there. It's unique and very interesting exhibition about begun friedship history between France and Australia. Museum is free off charge. Inside museum can be buy hot tea,coffe or water. Near museum is toilet facilities ,playground, walking track,beaches ,BBQ area for picnic and a lots variety restaurant to suit everyone style. That place cannot be missed.

Wonderful French concert

I discovered this little.gem + intimate museum in a gorgeous part of Sydney when I went for an exhibition of an amazing Sydney potter. The museum has a wonderful + eclectic display of Australian naval history associated with La Perouse as well as other interesting historical pieces. Well worth a visit with plenty of local cafes to grab lunch or a coffee..

Great museum very interesting it's also free fabulous coffee and cupcakes great service the view is spectacular and only $12

Nice little museum with interesting collection. Very informative for middle school kids. Must visit if you live in Sydney. Probably the most historically important place in Sydney.

Amazingly helpful friendly staff

Nice little museum with good exhibits on ground floor. Top floor is a little bare. Building could definitely use a bit of renovation.

Great place to visit, plenty of history... good and bad. A beautiful part of Sydney, Australia👍🇦🇺

Very interesting information inside this museum. Lots of history.

Made it to the penultimate day of the exhibition on the French Explorers who helped put Australia on the map. Great spring weather. Everyone was out. Parking difficult. Someone should lend the Musée Lapérouse a lawnmower.

La Perouse Museum celebrates the life of Jean François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse, who was a French explorer and navigator that named the suburb. It is a relaxing musum with very nice staff and lots of visual information about his life.

Beautiful museum in a historic building with many different historical exhibits related to the area. I really loved the Snake man exhibit and the current French exhibition. Several audiovisual installations as well. Learn about the history of the area and the connection with France. Highly recommended. Also free. Do yourself a favour and have a look.

Simple exhibits but nice outdoors and there's a cute tower

Improving museum now in Randwick Council control. Pleasant place for a coffee.

(Translated by Google) Interesting historically. Beautiful building. Free visit. Nice walk to do around. (Original) Intéressant historiquement. Belle bâtisse. Visite gratuite. Belle balade à faire autour.

(Translated by Google) Museum built at the same place where Laperouse landed in 1788. Right next to it is a memorial and a grave of one of the members of the crew. The free exhibition broadly traces the expedition and research of the wrecks. Nice collection of cards upstairs. (Original) Musee construit à l'endroit même où Laperouse débarqua en 1788. Juste à côté se trouve un monument commémoratif et une tombe d'un des membres de l'équipage. L'exposition gratuite retrace dans les grandes lignes l'expédition et les recherches des épaves. Belle collection de cartes à l'étage.

Not much to see

Excellent place to learn the history of La Parouse. Very informative

A place of history

Not extensive but an excellent snap shot of early development in the area.

Simple history and friendly staff, the scenery outside is also great.

Interesting atmosphere

Great display and information. Lovely historic building.

Good View, quiet spot, plenty of car park,

Nice, little museum with free entrance. The French music at the café was a lovely gift for the French part of my heart ?

Am interesting mix of exhibits reflecting the history of the La Perouse area in what once a Cable Station building built late 1800s. Entry is free and is open Fri/Sat/Sunday from 10am Aboriginal history is covered, where nearly all were killed off very quickly by the introduction of smallpox. Most of the buildings rooms go through the history of La Perouse himself, who arrived 1788, same year as the first fleet, and stayed for 6 weeks in Botany Bay. He also, with a second ship, explored large parts of the world. They were both shipwrecked in the Solomon Islands, sunk by a cyclone. Rooms have salvaged parts of the 2 ships. Others have a large number of wall hung prints of places they traveled. There's also an exhibit of Happy Valley, the large room shed camp formed by family's etc that became unemployed and homeless due to the Great Depression. Another room is dedicated to the generations of "Snakemen", snake wranglers who every weekend for near 100 years entertained visitors with snakes they locally collected plus also raised. The French Embassy supports the museum financially and with artifacts. There was also a room selling tea/coffee to visitors.

Beautful place, good for snorkel, and of cause selfies

Interesting museum nice view

Must visit location. Theo the guide is so informative and friendly and the exhibits are top quality and extremely interesting. We were totally surprised. Also great cafe with lovely view.

Very beautiful place to visit

It's ePiC for gamer

Great place and very interesting :) would recommend!

La Perouse Museum is a refreshing place by the seaside which provokes new appreciation for the area and it's people. The emphasis on Indigenous Australian Culture is also good to see.

Had no idea how interesting this place is for white and indigenous Australians

Lots of history. Beautiful location. Friendly staff

Very interesting little museum about Le Comte de Lapérouse. Nothing amazing but the story of this man who discovered the area in 1770 is quite good.

(Translated by Google) The story is always interesting, it is a beautiful enclave but you feel the energy / strength of the previous generations .., "trying to explain it in some way" (Original) La historia siempre és interesante, es un enclave bonito pero se siente la energía/ fuerza de las anteriores generaciones.., "intentando explicarlo de alguna manera"

Little museum but quite a few historical stuff to study. Local Aboriginal aspects are also included. Various activities are worthy participating. Staffs are welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. Little Cafe has outdoor seating.

Fantastic free little museum in beautiful old building. Lots of interesting details on and artefacts from the La Perouse expedition of 1788 plus a great room devoted to the Snake Pit. There's also a little coffee bar for drinks & snacks on the verandah if you want to escape the crowds at the other LaPa eateries.
