"Camperdown’s off-the-radar Nicholson Museum is Australia’s oldest university museum, set in a historic Harry Potter-esque building at the southern entrance of The University of Sydney’s Main Quadrangle. It was founded in 1860 to house chancellor Charles Nicholson’s private collection of curios, now the Southern Hemisphere’s largest and most prestigious showcase of antiquities. Embracing the intriguing and the macabre, the free-to-visit permanent collection comprises some 30,000 artistic and archeological artifacts—everything from Egyptian mummies and monumental sculptures to Bronze Age Cypriot ceramics, Greek glass, and Roman figurines." - Sophie Davies
