Treasures by Chris McAuliffe & Peter Yule

Highlights of the Cultural Collections of the University of Melbourne

For 150 years the University of Melbourne has collected diverse cultural objects. From Greek antiquity, through European Old Masters, to modern art and architecture, the collections reflect the development of cultural taste. This book surveys collections unique to the university. This pictorial and descriptive profile of the artistic artifacts housed in the University of Melbourne includes pieces ranging from Greek antiquity to the European old masters. Information is provided on costumes designed by Percy Grainger, furniture fashioned by Burley Griffin, illuminated manuscripts, and stained glass by Napier Waller. Essays written by staff and students of the university, research findings on new methods of interpretation, and profiles of the different collections and their reflection of the institutional values of the university offer a glimpse into Australia's distinct cultural heritage.
