Does anyone else remember the school museum? It was in one of the rooms now used by the music department under the Bradby. By and large it was a tedious collection of Roman Pottery, but I remember being shown what I thought then were fascinating exhibits, and now with more adult sensibilities and after thirty years of increasing political correctness, find rather horrifying: two 'shrunken heads.' They may well have been fakes - apparently many if not most are / were; but I wonder what happened to them. Maybe they are in some vault somewhere under the Quad…
There is at least a case of (more interesting than I remember) Greek and Roman artifacts outside the Classics Form Rooms. No shrunken heads though. Here's one.
