Chau Chak Wing Museum, University museum at University of Sydney, Australia
The Chau Chak Wing Museum is a five-story building at the University of Sydney housing six main galleries. It contains archaeological finds, natural history specimens, and artworks from different cultures and regions.
The museum opened in 2020 by combining three older institutions into one new building. This merger brought together the Nicholson Museum, the Macleay Museum, and the university's art collection.
The galleries display artworks and artifacts from many cultures, offering insight into different artistic traditions and ways of life. Visitors encounter pieces that show how diverse cultures have shaped art and human history over time.
The building is located on the University of Sydney campus in Camperdown and offers free admission to visitors. It is easy to reach and worth visiting during regular opening hours.
The museum's forecourt features a replica of an Aboriginal rock carving integrated into the contemporary design. This connection between modern architecture and indigenous heritage reflects respect for Australia's original cultures.
