In the Arvid Andrén Collection, donated by his son Per Axel Andrén in 2001 to the Museum of Cultural History at the University of Oslo are 84 archaeological finds. The objects kept in his collection are all the result of purchases (some even gifts) from Roman antiquarians, especially Vita, Fallani and Calvesi. The years of purchases seem to be concentrated in 1931, 1934, 1949-1952, thus in the year of his arrival in Rome and the years of his first stay in the city as Director of the Swedish Institute of Classical Studies. The only purchase made by A. Andrén outside Rome that is documented is that of a head of a Siceliote clay head of a votive statuette, purchased in Palermo in 1931. Objects in the collection were produced in Northern, Inner and Southern Etruria, Ager Faliscus, Picenum, Rome, Tibur or Suburbium of Rome, Latium Vetus (Ariccia, Lavinium, Ardea), Campania, Magna Graecia (Taranto and maybe Metapontum), Sicily and Greece (Sparta). In the Collection there are also Roman objects from the Augustan-Imperial period of widespread use, a Visigothic object and objects of dubious authenticity or modern.
