구 멜버른 감옥

Very interesting and interactive. You should check this place out if you are in to history.

There was something exceedingly eerie about the gruesome collection of death masks cast from the actual heads of executed prisoners and noose on display. During the time of the Old Melbourne Gaol (jail), an astonishing 133 male and female prisoners were executed by hanging on the premises, the most infamous being Australian folk hero Ned Kelly. Equally disturbing were the stories of Martha Moore who paid a pittance to adopt children that she proceeded to murder and bury in her backyard or the tale of Martha Kneedle who poisoned her husband and daughters with arsenic.

Its kinda weird but here you pay to get yourself arrested. You'll experience being lockup and stay overnight at the watch house. Also visit the century old prison built in the early Melbourne, and the place that they used to execute people.

The Old Melbourne Gaol was the best thing we did In Melbourne. It was fascinating of what we found out

Must visit! They've opened almost all the chambers and inside each one they have information about the prisoner that stayed there or something else interesting about the place.Many interesting stories and see the death masks of famous criminals and the instruments used as punishment. If you really go in and read everything, the whole place can take a good 2hrs or so.

Old Melbourne Gaol is a highlight among the city’s things to do. The main selling point is that the famous outlaw Ned Kelly was executed in the gaol, and it has plenty of interesting information about the lives of the Kellys, as well as the death masks of Ned Kelly and many other former inmates on display. A free performance about the Kellys is put on throughout the day to entertain and inform visitors.

Visit Australia's most haunted building. Come face-to-face with the death mask of Ned Kelly, experience a ghostly night tour or feelwhat it's like to be arrested in the Watcch House.

墨尔本旧监狱是现存的最古老的维多利亚时代的监狱，原用来关押狂躁和顽固的罪犯，如今已是一座博物馆，保留着原本的所有设置。购买参观券后，可以领取《游客指南》，有中文版的。在维多利亚街和罗素街的街角附近，是已经泛黑的蓝石建筑，现在只留下其中的一部分。也就是“囚室大楼”。内部中央有通路，两侧是三层的单人牢房，即使在夏季仍十分阴冷。展示着绞首台、鞭笞刑台、鞭子、手拷、脚镣等各种刑具，令人触目惊心。曾有104个死刑犯在此行刑，澳洲传说的强盗团首顿Ned Kelly于1880年在此监狱被处以绞刑。他和警察队的最后决战中所使用的手制头盔、铠甲还有其他的死亡面具(Death Mask)等都有展示。博物馆每天都有入狱体验活动Watch House Experience）有兴趣参加的游客在进门时不妨留意一下当天的活动时间安排，在活动开始前10分钟回到集合地点即可参加（持标的游客，不需要另付费）。活动开始后，你会拿到一张控诉书（Charge Sheet），上面记录着你所扮演的犯人名称、地址、罪名、逮捕地点等，“狱警”会给几分钟时间让每位游客记住这些内容，随后“狱警”会带着各位“犯人”进入监狱，并且疾言厉色地要求大家遵循他的指令，包括象征性地搜身检查等，把气氛营造得跟真的一样。男女游客被分为两队，分别关进禁闭室，狭小的空间、幽闭的环境让人感受到窒息般的压迫。整个体验活动约30-40分钟。在体验完“入狱”后，游客可以手持编号在布景前拍一张犯人照，中意的话可以凭号码在纪念品商店打印出来留作纪念。体验完毕后，没有去拍“犯人照”

旧监狱很大，你要先去一个小店买票，逛一逛男子监狱，然后等候应该是每小时一次的监狱体验。狱警把你带进监狱，这个时候你就是他的犯人！刚开始拿着手机在看照片，被他凶了！吓我一跳！哈哈哈哈哈，个人感觉蛮好玩的。具体的就不多说了！让你们自己去体验比较有意思！(全程英文，我英语不是很好，所以也就听个大概，建议提前了解一下历史，有兴趣的再去，不然会觉得不值得票价，一个人是30几澳，学生证可以打折！)

旧监狱每过一段时间就有体验当犯人的活动，当天我们去的时候正好赶上活动，一个工作人员穿着警服，我们大概一波30人左右，男女分开站两排，体验犯人从进看守所后的一套流程，还会随机抽到几个人，发给你一张纸，上面写着姓名，罪行，简单的审讯几句。
