It is a medium sized museum full of greek and roman statues. It takes 50-60 minutes for a fully tour inside. If you are interested in ancient Greece and Rome, you have to visit this place.

A priceless resource for the classics student and great little past time. It costs nothing to go in and walk around. The volunteers are kind and informative. The pieces are replicas of some of the worlds most renowned examples of Classical Greek and Roman sculpture that you'd have to travel the world to see all the originals but here they are all in one place and retain their colossal size and grandeur!

Though mostly, if not all, are plaster copies, this is a good place to see some of the popular sculptures. The staff are very friendly and the place is also good place to relax.

A nice place to gain the knowledge of Roman and Greek mythology. Although small but houses many objects (casts). Some labels of the objects however are 'fixed' at some weird places, e.g. the base of the pedal.

Free Admission, due to Covid you might need to pre-book the entry. Quite and well lit exhibition gallery. Sculptures are incredible from upclose and they do have cards next to them with some information

We had a private tour with the curator, of course that makes a visit a great experience. I personally am not too bothered about classical archeology, however, after having been informed about some aspects to look out for, regarding both, plaster casts in general and the stories behind the depictions, I now really want to go back and have another wander. A real Cambridge institution.

Nice place to visit. There are a lot of statues and artifacts from plaster, copies from ancient Greek and Roman era.

Great collection of mainly Greek/Roman sculptures. If visiting with kids there's a nice trail hunt you can do to find some of the major sculptures. Just ask for the relevant guide at Info/Reception. My 5 year old daughter and I spent 45 mins there and saw everything.

Really enjoyable, helped by visiting with someone who studied there, although a personal guide is not necessary!
