Cast Courts, Replica gallery at Victoria and Albert Museum in London, United Kingdom

The Cast Courts contain monumental plaster reproductions of European architectural elements and sculptures, divided between two spacious 25-meter-high halls.

The Victoria and Albert Museum inaugurated these specialized exhibition spaces in 1873 to display precise replicas of international architectural and sculptural masterworks.

These galleries house exact copies of significant European monuments, including Trajan's Column from Rome and the Portico de la Gloria from Santiago de Compostela.

The collection enables visitors to examine detailed reproductions of European sculptures and architectural elements without traveling to their original locations.

The Cast Courts preserve replicas of numerous artworks that no longer exist in their original form due to damage, destruction, or environmental factors.
