"Bunte Götter" der Münchner Glyptothek im Archäologischen Nationalmuseum

Temporary Exhibition
''GODS IN COLOUR'' COLOURS ON ANCIENT SCULPTURE
29 January 2007 - 25 March 2007

The exhibition includes 21 coloured replicas of famous ancient sculpture as well as 51 original exhibits of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, which preserve colours (sculpture, pottery, idols).
The exhibition of the 21 coloured replicas was first presented in 2004 at the Glyptothek of Munich and then on at other European countries. The concept of the exhibition is based on research made by the University of Munich since 1982 concerning the colouring of ancient sculpture. The publication of the results of the research through this exhibition has an educational role as it enriches our knowledge, showing a different perspective on how the ancient sculpture would be with the use of colours.

A scientific catalogue of the exhibition is available.
