About this space

Museum Precinct is a large event space at the Australian National Maritime Museum, positioned on Darling Harbour with waterfront and city skyline views. Its covered glass canopy provides shelter while maintaining an open-air feel, with direct indoor–outdoor circulation between the terrace and the museum.

Design:
The space features contemporary metal framing, glass façades and string lighting, with a mix of lounge furniture and bar-height seating arranged along an open, linear layout. The flexible setup can support standing receptions, networking events and larger social gatherings.

Features:
The precinct includes a private bar, Wi-Fi, and full AV support. Entertainment staging and a dancefloor area can be arranged, and optional guided museum tours can also be added.

Ideal for:
Cocktail receptions, corporate functions, conference events, private celebrations and large-scale gatherings that require waterfront views, flexible layouts and easy access to Sydney’s CBD and ICC Sydney.
