Lonely Planet review for Nicholson Museum

Nor far from the University of Sydney’s quadrangle, this brilliant museum is a must-see for ancient history geeks. Inside is an amazing accumulation of Greek, Roman, Cypriot, Egyptian and Near Eastern antiquities, including Padiashaikhet the mummy. It was founded in 1860 by orphan-made-good Sir Charles Nicholson, a key figure in the establishment of both the University of Sydney and the Australian Museum.
