Reading Museum Community Display: Greek Pottery

Reading Museum presents Community Display: Greek Pottery an exhibition on view through 22 Sep 2013.

Ancient Greeks produced painted pottery over 2,500 years ago. They were the leaders in developing new decorative techniques and the artists depicted fashions, stories and gods. The images on the pottery show us that everyday Greek life was not so very different from our own.

Reading Museum has a stunning collection of Greek pots, including a number from the Museum’s founding Bland Collection. Many of them are on loan to the Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology at Reading University. www.readingmuseum.org.uk
