Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke, Classical sculpture cast museum in Maxvorstadt, Munich, Germany.
The Museum for Casts of Classical Sculptures displays about 2000 full-sized plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures. The works are arranged in two high halls, with lighting that emphasizes the sculptural forms.
The museum was founded in 1869 and has collected plaster casts from major collections across Europe and beyond. It suffered damage during World War II but resumed operations at a new location afterward.
The collection shows reconstructions of ancient sculptures from museums around the world. You can directly compare the artistic styles and techniques of Greek and Roman artists here.
The museum is free to visit and open during weekday hours. Guided tours are offered regularly and help you explore the collection in a structured way.
The museum houses a detailed plaster model of the Parthenon of Athens at 1:20 scale. This model comes from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and demonstrates the architecture of antiquity's most famous temple.
