澳大利亚国家海洋博物馆与Cox设计的悉尼水族馆构成悉尼达令港口的主要标志性建筑。

博物馆分室内和室外两部分，拱顶的馆内可满足从美洲杯帆船到船只模型多样化的展览。室外展示着记载澳大利亚海洋历史的工艺品。

博物馆面对现有的港口，寓意新、老海事的连接关系。建筑物的夹层和玻璃板为游人提供眺望港口的条件。

Together with the Cox designed Sydney Aquarium, the Australian National Maritime Museum forms the gateway to Sydney‘s historically important port of Darling Harbour. The museum is designed as a facility for both internal and external exhibitions. Its vaulted roofs form internal spaces that can accommodate varied museum exhibits, from America‘s Cup yachts to model ships, while outside a number of piers provide moorings for craft significant to Australia‘s maritime history. The site has the benefit of facing towards the city‘s working port area, creating links between past and present maritime activities. For this reason, the building design incorporates controlled views of the port through a system of mezzanine floors and glazed panels.
