Skulpturhalle Basel, located at Mittlere Strasse 17 in Basel, is a unique gem for those who love classical art. It houses one of the world's largest collections of over 2,000 casts of ancient sculptures, offering an experience that reconstructs the grandeur of the original works scattered in museums around the world.

Among its main attractions stands out the "Parthenon Project", which has brought together all the surviving remains of the architectural plastic of the Greek temple in Athens. Thanks to the casts, visitors can now admire the Parthenon reconstructed in its original form, accompanied by architectural models in 1:20 scale to better understand dimensions and context.

Founded in the early 20th century and administered by the Antikenmuseum Basel since 1961, the collection tripled its volume between 1985 and 2010 and continues to be a reference point for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of ancient art.

The visit offers a well-organized and extensive path: the casts cover different eras and allow for a better understanding of classical plastic in an accessible way, as if you were seeing the original works up close, often recomposed in an integral way. Ideal for those seeking an immersive archaeological experience in the city center.
