The Nicholson Museum at the University of Sydney you'll find the largest collection of antiquities in both Australia and the southern Hemisphere.

Built in 1860, the collection includes ancient world with primary collection areas including Greece, Italy, Egypt, Cyprus, and the Near East.

We highlight the Egyptian collection with artefacts from a variety of ancient sites including Abydos, Alexandria, Bubastis, Fayum, Heliopolis, Memphis, Saqqara, and Thebes.
Egyptian material formed a large part of Sir Charles Nicholson's founding donation.

Here you can find a fragment of a red granite thought to be from Hatshepsut's obelisk
