Sydney custom itinerary - Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney

The Chau Chak Wing Museum is a newly constructed building located at the University of Sydney and incorporates the university’s Art Collection, the Nicholson Museum collection and the Macleay Museum collection into one centralised location.

The building has a nice feel to it with plenty of natural light, soaring ceilings and an easy to understand layout.

Pleasant views of the area to the east of the building have been accommodated by the see through layout which includes large glass walls at the rear of the museum.

The collection in the museum can only be described as eclectic ranging from indigenous art to ancient Roman sculptures, Egyptian mummies, photographs and oil paintings. The variety of items on display reflects the range of artworks that have been donated to Sydney University over the decades.

A visit to the Chau Chak Wing Museum complements a visit to the University of Sydney’s wonderful historic building, the Quadrangle, which is a couple of hundred metres away across the lawn.

We recommend visiting both buidlings.

Entry to the museum is free and the museum is open 7 days a week. Check the website for times, as the weekend opening times are more restricted.

The Chau Chak Wing Museum is one of many options that can be included in a Sydney Nimble Tours bespoke tour.
