University of Canterbury Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Canterbury Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities is a museum housing the James Logie Memorial Collection,[1] a notable collection of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Near Eastern artefacts.
The museum in its current form is located in the Old Chemistry building of the Christchurch Arts Centre. It was opened in May 2017 after the University of Canterbury moved back to the arts centre following refurbishment funded by a donation from John and Leigh Teece.
The collection was created due to the efforts of Marion Steven, Reader in Classics at the university.[1] She donated her collection of pottery to the university in 1957 in honour of her husband James Logie. The university has continued to acquire new items since then.
