museum
Last Sunday, we paid a visit to the Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology. It is three stories high and each floor has its theme. The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge holds a world-class collections of art and artefacts from all over the world. Objects ranging from stone tools and pots to sculptures and paintings represent cultures and histories over millennia. Great recent and contemporary works reflect the diversity of peoples worldwide, and the resilience of indigenous cultures confronted by globalisation.
When you step into the museum, you will first see an information desk and a gift shop there. You can get leaflets there which include information about the museum. The museum is divided into two parts. For archaeology exhibits, they are mainly displayed in the permanent gallery on the ground floor. The gallery displays about 1200 objects which illustrate the history of Cambridge. The Arbury Coffin is one of the highlights of the gallery. It contains the bones of a woman, a shrew and a mouse thought to date from the fourth century AD. This coffin inspired the Sylvia Plath poem ‘All the Dead Dears’.
The shrew and mouse bones found in the coffin of a well-to-do Roman woman in Arbury. Her ankle had been knawed.
As you walk up the stairs, you will arrive the Maudslay Hall. It is the museum’s principle Anthropology collection. In this gallery, you can see a collection of culturally significant art and artefacts from around the world. One of the highlights of this gallery is the costumes of different countries. There is a large variety of clothing being displayed in the gallery. Costumes of Nigeria, Japan, Indigenous, China and more countries’ costumes are displayed in the gallery. The clothing of each country is unique and has its special features. The traditional costumes can represent the countries. Taking China as an example, this is the one of the traditional costumes of China. Also, Indigenous China Nigeria
