CULTURE CLUB
ILLUSTRATING ANCIENT HISTORY Running until the end of January, Illustrating Ancient History: Bringing the Past to the Present is an exhibition of archaeological illustrations at the Museum of Classical Archaeology. Inspired by the Faculty of Classics’ research project, Impact of the Ancient City, the exhibition aims to explore archaeological practice in our current times, featuring artworks intended to inspire interest in the classical past, such as colourful and eye-catching drawings by Zofia Guertin and Sofia Greaves, that bring archaeology to life. Javier Martínez Jiménez, the exhibition curator, says: “We are really proud to have put this exhibition together under extraordinary circumstances. Our aim was to show people how archaeologists can use images to help archaeological digs make sense. But that’s not all! We want to start a conversation about how people think about their heritage, which is why we’ve set up a questionnaire that people can respond to, whether or not they come to our exhibition.” Catch the exhibition until 30 January – admission is free and tickets can be booked through the Museum of Classical Archaeology’s website. classics.cam.ac.uk/museum
