Akademisches Kunstmuseum

The Akademisches Kunstmuseum contains over 2,700 plaster casts of ancient statues and reliefs, alongside 25,000 original artifacts from Greek and Roman periods.

Founded in 1818, the museum first operated under director Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker until 1854, establishing itself as a university institution for archaeological studies.

The museum functions as both an exhibition space and an educational facility, offering drawing courses, guided tours, and research opportunities for students and visitors.

During renovations of the historical building near Hofgarten, the museum operates at an alternative location at Römerstraße 164 in Bonn, presenting its original collection.

The institution maintains the largest collection of plaster casts in North Rhine-Westphalia, systematically documenting Mediterranean art from antiquity.
