Greek Collection Highlights

These highlights of the MFA’s world-renowned collection of Greek art represent the very finest achievements in sculpture, vase painting, metalworking and more. They span more than 3,000 years, from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period that followed the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE. Together, they speak to the rich subtlety and virtuosity of Greek artists working in marble and clay and with precious metals and gemstones. Behind each magnificent work of art lies the story of its makers and patrons, as well as admirers from ancient times to today.
