At Washington University, the ancient Greco-Roman world is at your fingertips. On campus, our resources include significant collections of ancient papyri and coins. The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum offers a chance to experience Greek and Roman ancient art. Our home city of St. Louis offers additional resources for the Classicist-in-training, and our faculty and staff are always ready to point students toward whatever resources they need – whether near at hand, online, or around the globe.
