The Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology holds a significant collection of artefacts mainly from ancient Greece, Cyprus and Egypt. Its archive relates to the history of archaeology in early 20th century Greece, to the acquisition of artefacts, and to the histories of its founders Percy and Annie Ure and the Classics Department in the University of Reading out of which it developed.

We are aware that a number of entries in our original catalogues, archives and online catalogue contain either language or imagery which is potentially upsetting. As we do not wish for anyone to feel unwelcome while using our catalogues, archives or collections, we are working to either contextualise the offensive content or otherwise reduce the offence caused.
