RE-DISCOVERING ANTIQUITY
1400-1850
8 JANUARY - 31 MARCH
This exhibition explores the influence of Greek and Roman antiquity on the culture of Western Europe, from the Renaissance to the Neoclassical period. Discover the impact that the ancient world had on Art and architecture and how the first major excavations of classical sites such as Pompeii promoted the study of surviving artefacts.
The exhibition has been curated by a group of pupils in the lower sixth (Year 12) at Winchester College, working alongside a Classical Archaeology student from Winchester University.
