Chau Chak Wing Museum virtual tour (Stage 6)
Step virtually into Chau Chak Wing Museum, the University of Sydney’s museum of art, science, history and ancient cultures and find the unexpected…
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
In collaboration with the University of Sydney, the Department of Education created a virtual tour of the Chau Chak Museum and associated teaching resources.
The Chau Chak Wing Museum holds the extensive collections of the University of Sydney, more than 400,000 cultural artefacts, natural history specimens and artworks. Included in the collection is the largest collection of antiquities from the Mediterranean, Middle East and Europe in the country, from the Nicholson Collection, and significant First Nations and Pasifika cultural items from the Macleay Collection. The museum has artefacts representing ancient cultures spanning from the pre-Neolithic to the late medieval period, including Egyptian, Near Eastern, Greek and Roman materials. These artefacts hold intimate stories of people’s everyday lives, ancient environments, and cultural activity for over more than 10,000 years.
This project developed a range of short films that examined several artefacts housed by the museum, and interviewed experts in their field on how they engage with these objects to learn more about human history.
The virtual excursion enables students and teachers in rural, regional and remote NSW to engage with the Chau Chak Museum in a way not previously available.
Guided and self-guided physical tours of the museum are also available for visiting school groups.
