Museum of Classical Archaeology, Cambridge, University museum of classical archaeology in Cambridge, United Kingdom
The Museum of Classical Archaeology houses over 450 plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures arranged chronologically in a spacious gallery setting.
The collection originated in the 1880s to support teaching of classical archaeology at Cambridge University, moving to its current location in 1983.
The museum maintains one of Britain's largest collections of plaster replicas, enabling visitors to examine classical sculpture evolution from 600 BCE onwards.
