Year 11 Ancient History excursion: Chau Chak Wing Museum

On our Year 11 Ancient History excursion to the Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney, we had the incredible opportunity to engage with real ancient artefacts through hands-on activities. A highlight of the day was getting to handle genuine historical objects that were thousands of years old and gain a deeper understanding of their significance. We also explored exhibits featuring real Egyptian mummies, sarcophagi, and ancient relics, debating the ethics of displaying human remains. We also saw ancient Greek and Roman artefacts and statues and an amazing lego diorama of Pompeii. The experience was incredibly fun and we all had an amazing day! (Niamh, Y 11).
