It is one of the constituent members of the UCM consortium (University of Cambridge Museums: https://www.museums.cam.ac.uk/), who together receive funding from Arts Council England as a National Portfolio Organisation. Further information about the Museum of Classical Archaeology is available at http://www.classics.cam.ac.uk/museum/ The Faculty of Classics, which is one of the largest centres of classical studies in the world, was the top-rated Classical department in the 2014 REF.
