In collating this list of links, it has not been possible at this time to identify and isolate those museums with departments devoted to archaeology and related disciplines, and it is therefore emphasised that not all of the museums listed will have on-line material directly relevant to the study of ancient civilisations.

However, many of the museums listed do have significant relevant collections, and it will be a matter for the individual researcher to select those which prove to be of maximum use and relevance.

This page is now, and will continue to be, under development, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If you find that some if the listings have no relevance, or if you have details of links to relevant museums not so far listed here, please advise the Antiquities Museum by letter or by email to classics@uq.edu.au.

This page has three main sections:

• Links to museum sites which themselves have large lists of further links to museums world-wide
• Links to Australian museums
• Links to individual museums, grouped by country
