The Museum of Classical Archaeology

The Museum of Classical Archaeology is one of the few surviving collections of plaster casts of Greek & Roman sculpture in the world. The collection of about four hundred and fifty casts is open to the public and housed in a purpose-built Cast Gallery on the first floor of the Classics Faculty. Although nothing here is an original, nearly all the well-known (and not so well-known) works from the Classical world can be seen together under one roof.

The reserve research collections consist of pottery sherds and epigraphic squeezes.  These can be consulted by arrangement.

The Museum has recently played host to a poet-in-residence, Sean Borodale. You can read his responses to visiting the Museum at http://www.thresholds.org.uk/blog.
