This jaw-droppingly beautiful book presents 500 of the finest works of Classical art from the Museum's collection of more than 17,000 pieces. The ancient civilizations of Greece, Cyprus, Etruria and Rome are all fully represented, and it is the full colour photographs that take centre stage - the explanatory notes occupy only 100 of the 500 odd pages. There is also an essay on the history of the collections by the Curator in Charge, Carlos Picon.
