Cultural Heritage
Ritual bronzes, painted coffins, and household treasures from Egypt, Greece, and Rome — the deep past, close enough to touch.

Three ancient worlds
The lower-floor heritage galleries move from the Nile to the Aegean to Rome. Painted coffins and bronze ritual figures sit beside the small things of daily life — oil lamps, game pieces, a child's sandal — so the ancient world feels inhabited, not distant.
Egypt & Napata
Coffins, amulets, and treasures of the Nile kingdoms.
Greece & Rome
Vases, bronzes, and marble from the classical world.
The dome hall
Monumental sculpture beneath our neoclassical dome.
Made for families and scholars alike
Family trails with handling replicas run every weekend, while evening lectures bring guest scholars to the dome hall each month. School groups visit free on weekday mornings with a dedicated learning host.
