Let's visit the Antiquities Museum at UQ to enjoy a guided tour and a coffee afterwards
The University of Queensland R.D. Milns Antiquities Museum is a collection housed on the St Lucia campus of the university. It was built to further the study of the classical civilisations of Greece, Rome, Egypt, and the Near East by secondary students, tertiary students and researchers as well as the general public.
The museum was established after the purchase of a 5th century BC 'red-figure Attic' amphora in 1963, to supplement teaching within the School of Classics and Ancient History. Within 50 years it had moved into its own rooms and contains over 6000 items. It was renamed the R.D. Milns Antiquities Museum in 2007, honouring Emeritus Professor Bob Milns AM (1938-2020), a long term benefactor and spokesperson for the classics department.
There are several cafe options close to the Antiquities Museum which is located in Building 9.
Parking
This visit is scheduled during Spring Break so we expect there to be plenty of parking available. You must pay for parking at PAY Stations or via the CellOPark app.
Closer to the date we can discuss car pooling.
