ARTH 4035
Cornell's Collection of Greek and Roman Art

Course information provided by the 2023-2024 Catalog.

This class examines the history and holdings of Cornell's teaching collection of ancient Greek and Roman objects. Designed to start a systematic inventory of the collections, it requires hands-on engagement with the objects (defining their material, age, function etc.) as much as archival work. Questions concerning the ethics of collections and calls for "decolonizing" museums will play a central role as we ultimately think about how to make use of and display the objects in our custody.
