Macleay Museum
-
Also at the University of Sydney, Macleay Museum was built in 1887 to house the vast entomological collection of the Macleay family. Since then, the collection has been added to by various ethno-graphers, naturalists and anthro-pologists. The pieces exhibited, which were mostly collected in the 1870s, include the oldest Aboriginal bark paintings in existence. The collection now includes over 1,000 antique scientific instruments.
