5/ 5

A priceless resource for the classics student and great little past time. It costs nothing to go in and walk around. The volunteers are kind and informative. The pieces are replicas of some of the worlds most renowned examples of Classical Greek and Roman sculpture that you'd have to travel the world to see all the originals but here they are all in one place and retain their colossal size and grandeur!

Great selection of marble statues and other trinkets. Many of the statues had their bits knocked off

5/ 5

Great selection of marble statues and other trinkets. Many of the statues had their bits knocked off in the past for reasons of modesty. I imagine, somewhere, there's a large collection of statue-bits.
