Chau Chak Wing Museum

The University of Sydney's modern museum brings archaeology, natural history, art and ethnographic collections together in a light-filled building beside the historic campus.

Chau Chak Wing Museum

Why go

The museum rewards curious visitors who enjoy connections across disciplines. Egyptian and Mediterranean archaeology, scientific specimens, photography and cultural collections share one compact institution, while visible storage and changing displays reveal how a university collection grows. Its campus setting adds sandstone architecture and makes the visit easy to combine with nearby Glebe or Newtown.

What to look for

  • Archaeological galleries include Egyptian material, classical objects and finds from long-running excavations.
  • Natural history and art displays create useful comparisons across science and visual culture.

Useful to know

  • Check current gallery and campus access before travelling.
  • Allow ninety minutes, then walk through the university's sandstone Quadrangle.
