James Logie Memorial Collection
The James Logie Memorial Collection of Antiquities has been taken off display, and will be kept in secure storage until aftershocks from the September 2010 earthquake have abated and items damaged during the earthquake have been conserved.
Public access to the Collection has been suspended until further notice, but research enquiries may be directed as usual to the Logie Collection curator by emailing Penny Minchin-Garvin, or telephone +64 3 364 2987 extension 8571.
The Collection is currently being restored. Information on the progress of the Logie Recovery Project is coming soon.
Donations to the restoration and redisplay would be greatly appreciated. Donation Form (PDF. 114KB)
The James Logie Memorial Collection is one of the finest collections of Greek and Roman antiquities on public display in the southern hemisphere and is housed in the Logie Room at Classics in the University of Canterbury. Vases and other pottery items from the Archaic period onwards form the bulk of the collection, although marble items of the Roman period, such as a statue of the goddess Cybele, are included. The collection includes some highly prized black-figure amphorae, including the Stilts vase by the Swing painter.
The collection may be viewed at most times between 9 am and 5 pm during the university term. Guided tours of the Collection are held on the first Wednesday of every month, from 1 to 2 pm. To book phone or email the Museum Curator, Penny Minchin-Garvin, on 364-2987 ext. 8571 or phone the Classics Administrator, Cindy Jones.
Continuing and Bridging Education sometimes offer Logie Guided Tours.
