Australia's first public museum was established in Sydney in 1827 with the aim of procuring 'many rare and curious specimens of Natural History'. ... Construction began in 1846 on a site in William Street near Hyde Park, and the new museum opened to the public in 1857 with just one exhibition gallery.

The Royal Exchange of Sydney can trace its origins back to the 1820’s where several attempts were made to form an exchange to facilitate business and commerce in New South Wales. However, it was not until 1851 that The Royal Exchange Company was finally formed with the aim of providing a place of meeting for the commercial community.
A grant of land was obtained in Gresham Street, opposite Macquarie Place, and in 1853 plans were commenced for the construction of a permanent building.
The foundation stone was laid by the Governor-General, Sir Charles Fitzroy, on the 25th August 1853. By 1857 the building was completed and was officially opened by the then Governor-General, Sir William Denison, on the 30th October 1857.
