We continue our exploration of the Nicholson Collection at University of Sydney’s Chau Chak Wing Museum. Deputy Director at the Museum, Dr. Paul Donnelly, guides us through the Greek Collections.

The Greek collection contains artefacts representative of the material culture of the Greek mainland, Islands and surrounding regions – from the Bronze Age to the late Hellenistic period. A wide range of Archaic-classical period ceramic vessels are the cornerstone of this collection. However, bronze and terracotta figurines, marble sculpture, intricate jewellery  and plaster cast replica objects contribute to the diversity of the collection.
