We’re open this Halloween…
If you’re looking for something to do before you head out to trick-and-treat, the Museum of Classical Archaeology is the perfect place. We’ve got everything from headless torsos to torsoless heads.
Why not drop by and say hello?

🌡️We’re closing on Thursday.🥵
Due to frankly unreasonably high temperatures on Thursday we'll be closing the museum for the day. Sadly, this also means that Thursday's event, "Meet the Greeks" will also be cancelled.
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.

🥵Stay cool on your visit🥶
Our glass roof provides wonderful light, but it can also make the Cast Gallery very warm when the temperature is high outdoors.
If you're planning a visit when it's hot out, make sure that you stay safe and cool on your visit by following these tips.

Oh gosh, it's really hot, isn't it?
We'll be closing Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week - having a glass roof means lots of lovely natural light all year around, but it also means we heat up quickly!
Stay safe in this heat everyone...
