The Victorian-style building is indeed impressive from the outside. The main entrance area attracts many photographers, with occasional tour groups passing through. Entering through the main door leads to a quadrangle courtyard, where the lawn is fenced off - dashing any hopes of taking nice photos sitting on the grass.

Inside, there's the Nicholson Museum. Though small, it's free to enter and hosts special exhibitions periodically. Nicholson contributed to the university during its early days and, after traveling through Europe, brought back numerous antiquities for teaching and research. This became Australia's first university museum. The museum now displays late 19th and early 20th century collections from the Mediterranean, Egypt, and Middle East regions.
