The Ure Museum was founded in the 1920's by the first Professor of Classics at the University of Reading, Percy Ure. The museum now houses one of the largest collections of Greek ceramics in Britain. Discover more about Greek mythology and life through the images on our vases. See everyday and extraordinary objects from the small oil bottles that athletes wore around their wrists to a mask of a terrifying Gorgon Medusa. Learn about the Egyptians too, through our important collection of artefacts, including a funerary boat and a mummified cat's head.
