Egypt
New museum for Hamilton, Ohio
Middletown Journal
The building construction has been completed, and for Harry Wilks and his staff at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park, it’s now just a matter of getting the art into place before opening up the Museum of Antiquities this summer.
The work is still being catalogued, Wilks said, so he doesn’t have a firm count, but he guesses that he’s collected between 60 and 70 works of ancient sculpture in the past decade preparing for the opening of the museum as part of the 265-acre outdoor sculpture park located at 1763 Hamilton-Cleves Road, just south of Hamilton city limits.
“There are no reproductions,” Wilks said. “Every one of these works of art is a true museum piece that I’ve purchased from Sotheby’s and Christie’s,” two New York auction houses that guarantee both the authenticity and the provenance of the items to ensure that they are not stolen.
“Some of the items I’ve been outbid on I’ve later found at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art,” Wilks said.
The museum will focus on Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman sculpture.
