Tour of the Classical Archaeology Museum
Tour of the Classical Archaeology Museum
The Museum of Classical Archaeology is home to more than 600 plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculpture. But our plaster casts are a funny type of object:betwixt and between, with one foot in the ancient world and one foot in more recent history.
Join us for this tour to look beyond the replica and find outsome of the stories behind our statues - and why even we have a collection of casts here in Cambridge.
Speaker

After completing a doctorate at the University of Cambridge on classical Attic funerary monuments, she was a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Reading before returning to Cambridge to look after the Museum's world famous collection of casts of Greek and Roman sculpture.
