Shefton Museum, Archaeological museum at Armstrong Building, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The museum contained over 800 artifacts displayed within the Department of Classics at Newcastle University's Armstrong Building.
Professor Brian B. Shefton established the museum in 1956 with initial funding from university Rector Charles Bosanquet and curated it until 1984.
The museum's collection illuminated various aspects of ancient civilizations through artifacts that now reside in the Great North Museum: Hancock.
The museum remained operational until April 18, 2008, when preparations began to transfer its collections to the renovated Hancock Museum.
The institution specialized in Greek and Etruscan archaeological objects, growing from a small teaching collection to an extensive assemblage of antiquities.
