The NSW Committee of The Australiana Fund is excited to invite you to a private guided tour and social gathering at the Chau Chak Wing Museum. Located in the heart of the University of Sydney, this fabulous new museum was designed to share the University of Sydney’s vast collections with the broader community in a stunning, purpose-built space.

The collections began with the Nicholson Collection of antiquities in 1860 and continued to grow to include the Macleay Collections of natural history, ethnography, science and historic photography, and the University Art Collection. Designed by Johnson Pilton Walker, the Chau Chak Wing Museum unites these diverse collections in one multidisciplinary institution.

While the collections themselves are not new, being able to see them in one location is. From ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt, to the art of First Nations people, and the works of leading contemporary artists, the Chau Chak Wing Museum triples the exhibition space previously available. 70 per cent of the items on display have not been seen publicly for over 20 years.

Our private talk and tour will be led by museum’s expert team followed by drinks and canapés on the beautiful terrace overlooking the gardens.

Please join us for this long awaited get together and great opportunity to support the work of The Australiana Fund.

(All profit from this event will go towards new acquisitions for The Australiana Fund Collection and our Collection conservation projects.)
