The Mint - Hearing the title "The Mint", may be instantly reminded of one type of candy or fruit Mint. But not the same as the one in Sydney. Therefore, The Mint is a museum. Nor is it unusual museum, because it provided all the facilities needed to support science and entertainment. The location is at 10 Macquarie St, Sydney, NSW 2000.
The museum is open every day from Monday to Friday, from 09:00 until 17:00, built in a building next to the south wing of the Sydney Hospital. Here, once found a lot of gold continues to be mined until exhausted. After that, the land was used as a hospital building circa 1811 to 1816. Then, in 1926, was converted into The Mint since the newly established Commonwealth Mint in Canberra, after a couple of staff and deputy Mint occupy this building. Since then, the building was eventually accommodate a lot of government departments and the courts sydney in it.
Subsequently, in 1998, The Mint finally officially opened to the public and transformed into the Historic Houses Trust, to keep a variety of historical significance that have occurred in it. Since this is an older building, so here is done redevelopment or renovation in 2004 while maintaining the historical value contained therein. The new building is designed with a more contemporary, proportionate, and structured more artistic.
Talk about the contents in it, The Mint store a large collection of ancient coins of high historical value. Inside, the exhibition room neatly arranged so as to provide comfort for all visitors. Coins laid out neatly in a storefront-glass display case, complete with a variety of information about it. Open just a coin museum, but here are also available Caroline Simpson Library and Research Collection which specializes in tracing the history of the design of the house, the garden, and the interior from time to time. Visitors can also do research on the literature and pictures that are here. There is also a cafe on the veranda that serves cool air with a fresh wind blowing on my face while enjoying a cup of hot coffee. Furthermore, there is also an exhibition space with a maximum facility of the award-winning National Meetings & Events Industry Awards Specialty Venue Award in 2009. Because here has been named as one of the HHT, then The Mint is also used as the main office of the Historic Houses Trust. Not only that, here too, provided Mint Shop that contains a variety of unique collections and several replicas of a collection of coins in it. For those who want to visit, can get in for free! For people with disabilities also need not worry, because it has provided a wheelchair.
