The Blandford Collection of Antiquities

Welcome to the virtual Blandford Collection of antiquities. The collection includes 3D scans of Greek and Roman artefacts, terracotta figures, pottery, bracelets, pins, roof tiles and fragments from Britain, Greece and Egypt.

There are lots of 3D scanned museum collections online but at the University of Bristol, we're trying something different. Rather than just 'looking' you're encouraged to sort, modify, drop, shrink, grow and throw the artefacts around! You can request a box of items by using the buttons on the rostrum and you'll find clipboards with an inventory of items in each box.

Boxes contain models with a high poly count, so if performance suffers you can return items by taking them to the ‘Returns’ table.

This collection isn't yet well researched so it's possible you'll spot something we've missed. Please add any insights as 'comments' (especially if you know what the unidentified object is!).

The real world handling collection was donated to the University of Bristol by Dennis Blandford in 2014.
