Greece and Rome at The Fitzwilliam Museum

Scholars from The Fitzwilliam Museum and Faculty of Classics have won a major Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant to undertake research that will underpin the re-display of the Museum’s Greek and Roman collections. The three-year project grant funds a full-time research assistant and aims to bring university-based research in classical art and archaeology into conversation with museum-based display practices.

The research will be disseminated to the public in an online public-access catalogue and new web pages for ‘virtual’ visitors. Talks, workshops and family activities drawing on the research will also be an important part of the Museum’s education provision for children and adults.
