Friends of the ANU Classics Museum

The Classics Museum at the ANU was established in 1962. Amongst its first acquisitions was an Attic wine bowl, a gold lion's head earring, and some coins. The collection was established for teaching purposes. For this reason it has always been accessible to ANU's own students and to the wider community. From its earliest years the Museum has developed steadily with the support of the University, loans from University House, the National Gallery, and former students and others in Canberra who have acquired classical antiquities.

The collection has been published as an illustrated catalogue Antiquities, by J.R. Green and Beryl Rawson (Canberra, 1981). A new edition is in preparation.

The group of the Friends of the ANU Classics Museum was established in 1985. The aim of the Friends is to encourage and promote the interests of the Museum by raising funds for the purchase of items for the collection, encouraging donations, and organizing public lectures on a wide range of classical subjects.
