Museum of Plaster Figurines, Plaster figurine museum in Coreglia Antelminelli, Italy
The museum displays over 700 different plaster reproductions, ranging from ancient sculptures to early twentieth-century art pieces with exceptional detail.
During the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, Coreglia Antelminelli housed thirty factories dedicated to producing intricate plaster figurines for European markets.
Local craftsmen, known as figurinai, created detailed plaster sculptures depicting mythological figures, artists, leaders, and religious icons through specialized molding techniques.
The museum provides guided tours, maintains a research center for genealogy studies, and offers worldwide shipping services for reproduction purchases.
This institution documents the connection between art production and migration, as many local artisans traveled across Europe selling their miniature statues.
