  • El Museo de Arqueología Clásica es un museo ubicado en Cambridge, Reino Unido, gestionado por la de la Universidad de Cambridge. Desde 1983, está ubicado en una galería en el primer piso de la Facultad de Cultura Clásica, en el . El museo alberga una de las pocas colecciones de réplicas en yeso de esculturas griegas y romanas que aún perviven. La colección consiste en varios cientos de réplicas, incluyendo réplicas de algunas de las esculturas más famosas de la antigua Grecia y Roma. Entre las más destacadas están las de Laocoonte y sus hijos, el Hércules Farnesio, el Fauno Barberini y la Auriga de Delfos. El Kore del Peplo es probablemente la exposición más conocida del museo. Es una réplica en yeso de una estatua griega de una mujer joven, pintada en colores brillantes como habría estado la original, que fue erigida en la Acrópolis de Atenas alrededor del 530 a. C. En 1975, el museo construyó la réplica pintada y la colocó junto a una segunda réplica sin pintar, para mostrar lo erróneo de la creencia de que las esculturas griegas eran de mármol blanco.​ El museo también alberga una gran colección de vasijas e inscripciones epigráficas. Abre al público de martes a viernes de 10 a 17 h y los sábados de 10 a 13 h. Es uno de los ocho museos que componen el consorcio University of Cambridge Museums. Su anterior sede en Little St Mary's Lane fue diseñada por en 1883. En la década de 1970, se hizo evidente que ya no era adecuada para albergar la colección y es ahora parte de los edificios de Peterhouse. (es)
  • The Museum of Classical Archaeology is a museum in Cambridge, run by the Faculty of Classics of the University of Cambridge, England. Since 1983, it has been located in a purpose-built gallery on the first floor of the Faculty of Classics on the Sidgwick Site of the university. The museum is one of the few surviving collections of plaster casts of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture in the world. The collection consists of several hundred casts, including casts of some of the most famous surviving ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. Noteworthy casts include those of the Laocoön and His Sons, the Farnese Hercules, the Barberini Faun and Charioteer of Delphi. The Peplos Kore is perhaps the best known exhibit in the museum. It is a plaster cast of an ancient Greek statue of a young woman painted brightly as the original would have been, which was set up on the Acropolis of Athens, around 530 BCE. In 1975, the museum attempted to replicate the sculpture's original appearance by painting a cast of the figure. The replica was then displayed next to a second, unpainted cast as a challenge to the erroneous equation of ancient Greek sculpture with pure white marble. The museum also holds a large collection of sherds and epigraphic squeezes. The museum is open to the public Tuesday to Friday: 10.00am to 5.00pm and on Saturdays in University term time: 10.00am to 1.00pm. The museum is one of eight which make up the University of Cambridge Museums consortium. Its former home on Little St Mary's Lane was designed by Basil Champneys in 1883. In the 1970s it became evident that it was no longer adequate to house the collection, and it is now part of the buildings of Peterhouse.
