Macleay Museum, Natural history museum at University of Sydney, Australia
The Macleay Museum maintained a collection of 79,000 items including entomology specimens, ethnographic objects, scientific instruments, and historical photographs.
Founded in 1887 and housed in the Edgeworth David Building, the museum closed in 2016 and transferred its collections to the Chau Chak Wing Museum.
The collections contain materials from Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and Pacific Islander communities, gathered during early scientific expeditions.
The museum permanently closed its original location, with all collections now accessible at the Chau Chak Wing Museum on the University of Sydney campus.
The collection includes specimens contributed by Charles Darwin and Sir Stamford Raffles, representing some of Australia's earliest natural history acquisitions.
