The Lachlan Macquarie Room in the University Library is a complete historical reconstruction of the parlour room from Lachlan Macquarie's house on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. The room contains the original timber panelling, doors, windows and fireplace installed in c.1824, given to the University in 1967. There is a display explaining the history of the original house and estate, a description of how the room was acquired by the University, and a biographical profile of Lachlan Macquarie and his family. Also on display are various objects owned by or related to Lachlan Macquarie. The Museum has over 5000 artefacts from the ancient Mediterranean civilisations spanning the period from c.9000 BC to AD 500, an extensive collection of Greek pottery and terracotta figurines, a large coin collection, and the largest collection in Australia of unpublished handwritten Greek documents on papyrus.
Egyptian material includes mummified remains.
As a result of a most generous benefaction, the Council of the University has approved the formation of the Australian Centre for Ancient Numismatic Studies to promote research into ancient coinage. In association with the benefaction a very welcome loan of 2,500 ancient coins has been made. The Sculpture Park Works by contemporary Australian sculptors are located in the grounds of the University. Sculpted works are of sandstone, stainless steel, ceramics, steel, bronze and copper. The brochure also indicates suitable vacant sites for loan sculptures or permanent donations.
