Milns Antiquities Museum is a collection housed on the St Lucia campus of the university.
The museum was established after the purchase of a 5th century BC 'red-figure Attic' amphora in 1963, to supplement teaching within the School of Classics and Ancient History.
[2] It is part of the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry at the University of Queensland.
It celebrated its 50th anniversary at the University of Queensland with a major exhibition entitled 'Then and Now: 50 Years of Antiquities.'
The collection includes stone, pottery, terracotta, metalware, jewellery[4] and glass items from modern Iran, Wales, Germany and Egypt.
