About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Classical Archaeology in Cambridge stands you in a gallery of plaster copies, in front of one that refuses to stay white. It follows Professor Robert Cook, the curator who bought a second cast of an Athenian statue in nineteen seventy-five, and the restorer whose signature sits on its base. Best heard in Bay A, where both casts of the same girl share the room.
