Nicholson Museum Collections

The Nicholson Museum at the University of Sydney is home to the largest collection of antiquities in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere. The museum was founded in 1860 by Sir Charles Nicholson, (Chancellor 1854-1862), with a significant donation from his private collection of artefacts and curiosities. Since this time the collection has been expanded though donations, bequests and archaeological excavations led by Dame Kathleen Kenyon, Sir Flinders Petrie, James Stewart to name but a few. The Nicholson Museum collection spans the ancient world from Europe to Asia with significant collections covering areas including Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Egypt, the Near East, and Northern Europe.
