Located in the University of Sydney, south of
Glebe
, is home to the Nicholson Museum which contains the biggest collection of antiques in not only Australia but the Southern Hemisphere. Known as the only place in Sydney where you can get close to and examine a real mummy! No, were not talking women with kids, were talking old relics from Egyptian times where corpses were shrouded in cloth and buried in tombs. Prepare to be transported back in time and get your archaeologist gear ready because the Nicholson Museum is full of discovery and amazing wonders from the past. A place that some people would expect Indiana Jones himself to be giving tours, this stunning array of collections from old civilisations will give visitors a great sense of perspective on ancient times and experience how past dwellers lived their everyday lives.
