Description

The exhibition features objects that have been in storage in the Museum for a long time. The objects were collected primarily in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries not just for public display but also to assist scholars in the study of classical art and architecture.
The collection includes glass vessels, textiles, sculpture, ceramics, coins, gemstones and architectural fragments from places as geographically diverse as Egypt, Austria and England.
Introducing the exhibition is a display of Etruscan material followed by an exploration of the themes of Everyday Life; Death, Burial and the Afterlife; Religion; Personal Adornment and Dress; Entertainment and Imperial Power in the Roman world. The exhibition concludes with the introduction of Christianity. Under a new initiative, information panels on this exhibition will be available in English, Irish, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish and German.
