Ancient and Medieval Art
Examples of Ancient Greco-Roman and medieval art, some of the museum’s earliest acquisitions, ground the Davis’s encyclopedic collection. Objects range from Greek Archaic vases to Imperial Roman sculpture to a small but impressive selection of medieval ecclesiastical architectural fragments and panel paintings.
