MOCA

The objects in the Museum were previously housed in two separate collections, one in the Department of Greek and Latin and the other owned by The Ohio State University Excavations at Isthmia. The ancient objects were given to these two institutions by private individuals who had purchased or collected them in various ways, often many, many years ago, but in any case well before the UNESCO Convention on Antiquities (1970, ratified by the United States in 1983). In the past year several other individuals have made gifts to the Museum and we are currently exploring the possibility of bringing some objects from the University's excavations at Isthmia for exhibit here... Classical Archaeology is the study of the art, architecture, and culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans, on the basis of their archaeological remains (the term also commonly embraces all the civilizations surrounding the Mediterranean, such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome).
