Monsters: From Ancient to Modern
The Department of Classics at the University of Reading co-hosted the Limina Journal Monsters Conference with the University of Western Australia in September 2022. This temporary exhibition was designed for the conference using objects from the Ure Museum collection, the University of Reading Library, and private collections.
In particular, this exhibition focuses on how ancient Greco-Roman monsters have been translated into contemporary culture. It looks at these monsters in four categories: female monsters, sea monsters, heroes and monsters, and hybrids and cyborgs. Take a look at an online version of Monsters: From Ancient to Modern below and discover how ancient monsters have crept their way into our modern society.
