Museum of Classical Archaeology, Sidgwick Avenue, CB3 9DA
The Museum of Classical Archaeology is home to more than 450 plaster casts of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. But why do we have a collection of copies or ‘fakes’?
Join Curator Dr Susanne Turner on this tour of the Museum of Classical Archaeology’s Cast Gallery. The Museum houses a rather unusual collection: instead of original statues, the Cast Gallery is packed with more than 600 historical plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures. But why do we have all these replicas? And how might thinking about copying help us to look differently at ancient sculpture?
Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide step-free access at this time, however buggies can be left downstairs. Please contact us directly at 01223 330402 if you have any accessibility concerns or questions.
