Collection "Wolverhampton Art Gallery, Wolverhampton, UK" |
176420 |
| description |
<p>Along with many museums earlier this century, Wolverhampton benefited from the<br />
generosity of the Brassey family whose archaeological explorations to many parts of<br />
the world led them to form collections of material from the various sites they visited.<br />
Other gifts have enhanced the collection which includes small groups of Egyptian<br />
artefacts, Roman domestic pottery and glass, and a larger group of Cypriot pottery<br />
which recently formed the subject of a scholarly paper.<br />
Although not sufficiently comprehensive or rich enough to display, the collection<br />
nevertheless includes some good examples. It is a useful educational resource and it<br />
is only in this context that the non-local material is retained.</p>
