Welcome to the UNE Museum of Antiquities (UNEMA)
The UNE Museum of Antiquities (UNEMA) is Australia’s first regional museum for classical antiquities. Established in 1959, its collections cover the ancient Mediterranean (Ancient Near East, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, and Rome), and material culture from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
Highlights include the James Rivers Barrington Stewart Collection of Cypriot artefacts dating from the Neolithic to the Medieval Period, the Jordanian Pella Collection dating from the Early Bronze Age IV to Abbasid Caliphate, and works of stone, ceramic, and bronze from Benin to Burma and Brazil to Bougainville.
The Museum’s mission is to support teaching, research, and vocational training, and to promote community interest in the histories of peoples through the ages. Explore UNEMA on campus, online, or in the Discover UNE app. In UNEMA there is always plenty of time to explore.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
