Museum of Antiquities of the University of Leipzig, University antiquities museum in central Leipzig, Germany
The Museum of Antiquities holds more than 16,000 exhibits including Greek pottery, marble sculptures, terracotta figures, and bronze artifacts from Mediterranean regions.
The collection began in the first half of the 18th century, with Professor Johann Friedrich Christ using ancient objects for university lectures starting in 1734.
The museum maintains an extensive collection of 600 plaster casts of Greek and Roman marble works from major antiquities museums worldwide.
The museum opens Wednesday through Friday from 11:00 to 16:00 and weekends from 12:00 to 17:00, with restricted wheelchair access at Nikolaikirchhof 2.
The institution acquired 800 valuable exhibits from American collectors Edward Perry Warren and John Marshall during Franz Studniczka's early 20th-century directorship.
