Antikensammlung Kassel, Ancient art museum in Kassel, Germany.

The Antikensammlung Kassel houses around 4,800 objects from ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, displayed within Wilhelmshöhe Palace. The collection includes sculptures, vessels, bronze objects, and other artifacts that show how these civilizations developed their arts and crafts.

Landgrave Moritz of Hesse-Kassel, called "the Learned", kept an antiquities chamber; the earliest record of a purchase dates from 1603, when seven Roman lamps were bought in France. In 1688 the first marble sculptures arrived: Landgrave Karl had lent Hessian troops to Venice for two years against the Ottoman advance, and the returning soldiers brought coins, bronze statuettes and marble reliefs, among them a depiction of Artemis Elaphebolos. These were kept in the Marstall chamber and from 1696 in the Sculptura chamber of the Ottoneum.

The collection displays ancient coins, pottery, and sculptures that reveal how Mediterranean societies organized their economies and created art. Walking through the galleries, visitors see objects that reflect the daily life and values of people from thousands of years ago.

The museum is located within the UNESCO World Heritage Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe and can be accessed through several entrances. Wear comfortable shoes, as exploring the palace and surrounding gardens requires walking.

The oldest documented purchase for the collection dates from 1603, when seven Roman lamps were bought in France for Landgrave Moritz's cabinet of antiquities. The 1688 marble sculptures, including a relief of Artemis Elaphebolos, came to Kassel as soldiers' booty from the Venetian campaign against the Ottoman Empire.
