ANTIQUITIES

The Lowe is the only area museum which owns a distinguished collection of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman antiquities. This collection is a vital thread in understanding the development of Western Art and is utilized by University of Miami and area art history and history courses.

In the renovated museum, the installation has been greatly enlarged as the first introductory gallery in the permanent exhibition space and serves as a lead into the Kress Collection of Renaissance and Baroque art. The antiquities exhibition will be augmented with a loan of five classical and antiquities objects from the J. Paul Getty Museum.
