The Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung is a Frankfurt museum entirely dedicated to sculpture. Inaugurated in 1909, the museum is housed in a 19th century villa belonging to Baron von Liebieg, built in the Renaissance style. The villa was sold to the city of Frankfurt on the condition that a museum be established there. The large garden surrounding the villa helps to make your visit unique. The large exhibition space (about 1600 square meters) allows you to enjoy the vast collection of the museum, which has about 3000 sculptures from different eras, starting from ancient Egypt to Neoclassicism: with works from ancient Egypt, Greece and Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque and Rococo, Classicism and East Asia, the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung offers an overview of 5,000 years of the history of sculpture. Among the particularly famous works stand out the statue of Athena from the 5th century BC, copy from Myron, the figure of the Madonna by Tilman Riemenschneider (around 1520) and the terracotta altar made by Andrea della Robbia around 1500. The museum also organizes numerous temporary exhibitions.
