INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY

38-42 BEDFORD STREET

The collections are open to members of the University and to the public daily throughout the year from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., except on Saturdays when they are closed at I o'clock. The rooms are not open on public holidays or during the second and third weeks of August.

EGYPTIAN ARCHAEOLOGY

40-42 BEDFORD STREET

The loan collection of Egyptian Antiquities is exhibited on the ground floor rooms of 40 and 42 Bedford Street. These antiquities have for the most. part been discovered in Egypt by the University. Expeditions of recent years, and have been lent for the purposes of study by the following members of the Excavations Committee of the Institute of Archaeology: Ralph Brocklebank, the Right Hon. Sir John Brunner, Bart., William Johnston, the Rev. W. Macgregor, and John Rankin.

The first three rooms contain collections representing the three main periods of Ancient Egyptian History. In the first room are objects of the Archaic period down to the Pyramid Age. In the second is a complete series of Egyptian grave deposits from Beni Hasan. They are chiefly funereal models in wood illustrating the burial customs of the age (about 2000 B.C.). At the same time they throw light upon the industrial processes and domestic life of the Egyptians. One complete tomb is re-arranged in the Central Case as it was found. In the third room there may be studied the decline and fall of Egyptian Art from the time of the Pharoahs to the conquest of the Nile Valley by Alexander. The latest

series of objects, which will shortly be placed on view in this room, contain specimens of funereal stelae bearing Greek and Demotic inscriptions of the Ptolemaic Epoch. In the fourth room is exhibited a collection of pottery, metal implements, and domestic utensils illustrative of primitive life in Nubia. Two characteristic interments from Kostamneh are exhibited in their original positions exactly as they were found.

CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY

38 BEDFORD STREET

The collections illustrative of Classical Studies occupy the ground floor and first floor of 38 Bedford Street. In the Entrance Hall are a copy in wood of the 'Throne of Minos' found at Knossos in Crete, reproductions of cups and swords from Mycenae, and other exhibits illustrating the Mycenaean Age. The large rooms on the ground floor contain a series of plaster reproductions of Greek Sculpture in marble and bronze, presented by friends of the University. Another room will be devoted to models illustrating Roman life and institutions.

The principal room on the first floor contains a loan collection of Greek Antiquities, arranged in five cases. In the first are objects of the Stone and Bronze Age, including implements, idols, vases, and jewellery from Crete and other islands, as well as from the mainland. The second case contains coloured reproductions of the porcelain Snake goddesses' and other objects found by Dr. Evans in the ruins of a shrine at Knossos, and a collection of Cyprus pottery. The third and fourth cases contain vases and terra-cotta figurines from Attica and Boeotia, arranged in chronological order to exemplify the development of Greek industrial art. The details of ancient life are illustrated by a collection of mirrors, strigils, brooches, and the like; the most important object in this section is a large bronze steelyard from Pompeii. For purposes of comparison the fifth case is

devoted to a series of ceramic types from other countries, presented chiefly by Mrs. Eustace Smith and Sir Rubert Boyce.

This room also contains the Class Library of Classical Archaeology, and a separate lending-library of books which may be borrowed by students or by subscribers to the Institute of Archaeology.
