Exploring the Teece Museum
10 Sep 2025
Rolleston Central Probus Club recently visited the Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities.
The museum houses the biggest collection of Roman and Greek antiquities in New Zealand.
Curator, Terri Elder, gave the group a very informative talk about life in Pompeii before the eruption in 79AD. Life was hard back then as good food was scarce, and the average age was roughly only up to 30 years old.
The group really enjoyed their visit and learnt a lot about human history through the amazing collection of artefacts.
