Antikensammlung Kassel, Ancient art museum in Kassel, Germany.
The Antikensammlung Kassel exhibits 4,800 artifacts of ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian civilizations within Wilhelmshöhe Palace.
Landgrave Moritz of Hesse-Kassel initiated the collection in 1603, with significant additions of marble sculptures brought from Greece by Hessian troops in 1688.
The museum displays extensive collections of ancient coins, pottery, and sculptures that demonstrate economic systems and artistic techniques of Mediterranean civilizations.
The Antikensammlung Kassel operates within the UNESCO World Heritage site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, with detailed artifact information available through the MuseumPlus database.
During French occupation in 1806, the entire collection was transported to Paris and returned to Kassel in 1815 after Napoleon's defeat.
