The BSA Museum houses artefacts donated, collected, or excavated by the School and its members up until the 1950s. At its core is the private antiquities collection of the philhellene George Finlay. The Museum is used primarily as a teaching and study collection, and consists of a wide range of artefacts from Neolithic to Byzantine. The Sherd collection contains several thousand pottery fragments retrieved from surveys conducted throughout Greece and Turkey and is a particularly valuable aid in looking for comparative material.
A programme for publication of sections of the collection is underway in the School’s Annual, as well as via our Museums and Archives Online, with illustrations and links to related archival material held by the BSA.
