The James Logie Memorial Collection is one of the finest collections of Greek and Roman antiquities in the southern hemisphere and is housed in the Logie Room of the Classics Department of the University of Canterbury. Vases and other pottery items from the Archaic period onwards form the bulk of the collection, although marble items of the Roman period, such as a statue of the goddess Cybele, are included. The collection includes some highly prized black-figure amphorae, including the Stilts vase by the Swing painter.
The Logie Collection is again open for viewing following an air conditioning
upgrade, and tours are held on the first Monday of every month beginning
5 February 2007, 1-2pm. Anyone wishing to view outside these hours please

of Classics University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch. Ph 64
