Although a little off the beaten track, this museum offers a genuine, nineteenth century museum experience with its elegant cedar display cases and charming atmosphere. The core collection comprises natural history and ethnography and was presented to the University of Sydney in 1887 by zoologist and politician, Sir William Macleay. This has considerable research interest as well as historical significance. Highlights include over 9000 stuffed birds, a flea collected by Charles Darwin, dinosaurs and a Fijian cannibal fork. Subsequently, the collection was expanded to embrace historic scientific instruments and historic photographs. Research access by appointment. Admission: Free.
