The Medieval Irish reproductions currently on display at Spurlock aren't the only historic reproductions in the museum collection. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, university museums purchased a variety of high-quality reproductions as a way to bring archaeological treasures to the midwest. Here's a sampling of some that ended up at Spurlock.
Pompeii and Herculaneum
These reproductions of objects excavated at Pompeii and Herculaneum (1916.07) were made by Chiurazzi & Sons. The originals are located in the National Museum of Naples.
