The Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke was established in 1869 and has been housed in the Haus der Kulturinstitute since 1979. The collection displays almost 2,000 replicas of sculptures from ancient Greece and Rome (700 BC — 500 AD). The original world-famous marble and bronze masterpieces are scattered among all the big museums but here they are brought together under one roof as excellent plaster casts. The museum’s main attraction is a coloured plaster model of the Parthenon of Athens to a scale of 1:20.
