In the 1970s, the Australian Museum placed a portion of its Egyptian collection, including objects obtained from British-led excavations, on permanent loan to both the University of Sydney and Macquarie University, Sydney. In particular, some finds from the 1906-07 Deir el-Bahari excavations obtained by the Australian Museum, Sydney were placed on permanent loan to the Nicholson Museum, University of Sydney. These include a wall relief fragment from the temple of Thutmose III (XVIII Dynasty) and a limestone head of a high official (XXVI Dynasty).
