In the newly designed Sculpture Hall, the museum presents its new collection of Greek sculptures from the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods and Roman marble copies of famous Greek works, which give an overview of the development of ancient Greek development sculpture.
One focus is the idealised body of the 5th and 4th centuries BC, made according to rules of proportion and beauty.
Gods and goddesses, athletic heroes and maenads are depicted alongside poets and philosophers, rulers and other historical figures, whose funerary reliefs testify to their social position at the time.
The figures and reliefs are made of precious materials such as marble or bronze. Today, these cultural testimonies still delight us with their timeless aesthetics and brilliant sculptural achievements.
