Macleay Museum

The Macleay Museum, once located on the University's Camperdown campus in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, was a renowned natural history museum. It was a significant destination for those interested in natural history, offering a wealth of knowledge and insight into various aspects of the natural world.

Amalgamation into Chau Chak Wing Museum

The Macleay Museum was amalgamated into the Chau Chak Wing Museum, which opened its doors in 2020. This means that while the Macleay Museum as a standalone entity no longer exists, its collections and exhibits are now part of the Chau Chak Wing Museum.

Strengths of the Collection

The strengths of the collection, now part of the Sydney University Museums, were in entomology, ethnography, scientific instruments, and historic photographs. These diverse collections offer a comprehensive view of various fields of study, making the museum a valuable resource for both casual visitors and serious scholars.
