The National Art School - From Jail to School

Thank you for listening to Sydney Untold!

This episode was about National Art School

Before the National Art School was born, it was a jail, known as the Darlinghurst Gaol. Over the years, the Darlinghurst Gaol has been home to some of Sydney's hardest criminals including Captain Moonlite and even Australian Poet Henry Lawson.

This episode contains themes of assault and physical abuse which might be distressing to some listeners. If you require assistance please contact organisations like Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Triple 0 if you require emergency attention.
