Université Paul Valéry. Musée des moulages, University museum at Paul-Valéry campus, Montpellier, France.

The Musée des Moulages houses over 11,000 objects, including plaster casts of ancient and medieval sculptures alongside original antique pieces in its collection.

Founded in 1890 during the French Third Republic, the museum emerged from a national initiative to provide universities with copies of ancient artworks for teaching.

The museum collection contains plaster reproductions from Greek, Roman, and Egyptian periods, serving as educational resources for archaeology and art history students.

The museum building, located near the Saint-Éloi tram station on Line 1, underwent extensive renovations between 2009 and 2015 to modernize its facilities.

The collection received classification as a Historical Monument, making it the sole university museum in France with this official recognition.
