David M. Robinson Collection

        The University Museums at the University of Mississippi consist of the Mary Buie Museum built in 1939 and the adjoining Kate Skipwith Teaching Museum completed in 1977. In 1998 a new wing providing space for the Fortune and Seymour Lawrence Galleries was opened. The Museums' collections represent the David M. Robinsonfields of archaeology, art, anthropology, decorative arts, history, science and technology. Of special note are the David M. Robinson Collection, (60 Vase Painters in the Robinson Collection), the Millington-Barnard Collection of nineteenth-century scientific apparatus and the extensive collection of Southern Folk Art which features the works of Oxford artist Theora Hamblett. Also of note are the Meyer-Fulton Collection of West African art and the Lewisohn Collection of Caribbean folk art. The Museums regularly bring traveling exhibitions and prepare frequent special exhibitions from the permanent collections. The Museums, located at University Avenue and Fifth Street, are open to the public free of charge, Tuesday-Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

        Some of the more than 2,000 objects which comprise the David M. Robinson Collection of Greek and Roman antiquities are illustrated in the photographs within.
