Guided Tours of the RD Milns Antiquities Museum, University of Queensland

Guided tours of the RD Milns Antiquities Museum. The R.D. Milns Antiquities Museum is the foremost collection of classical Mediterranean antiquities in Queensland and amongst the top university collections in Australia. Envisaged as a highly accessible teaching museum for both the public and university students and researchers, the collection has grown from humble beginnings to its current location, taking pride of place on Level Three of the university’s Michie Building. The collection now consists of several thousands antiquities on constant display, mostly relating to the classical civilisations of Greece, Rome and Egypt, but also housing collections which are relevant to the study of other Near Eastern and European groups. The R. D. Milns Antiquities Museum also holds a broad collection of Athenian black and red figure ceramic fragments, along with a wide variety of other fragmentary artefacts housed in on site, permanent storage.
