Curator's Tour: Casting a new light

Join Curator Dr Susanne Turner on this tour of the Museum of Classical Archaeology's Cast Gallery. The Museum houses a rather unusual collection: instead of original statues, the Cast Gallery is packed with more than 600 historical plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures. But why do we have all these replicas? And how might thinking about copying help us to look differently at ancient sculpture?
