About the collection

The Classical Cultures of the Greco-Roman Mediterranean and the Near East characterise the 'Ancient Cultures' collection. The collections of Greek vases and Etruscan art are world-class. Bronze and terracotta statuettes, everyday objects - such as glasses, clay lamps and bronze utensils - provide information about life in the Mediterranean region from 1500 BC to 500 AD. The Collection of Gemstones is one of the largest in Germany.
