The Skulpturhalle Basel is a museum for casts of ancient sculptures and looks back on a history of over 110 years. The collection, which has now grown to over 2,000 casts, gives a representative impression of ancient sculpture. The sculpture hall is not only the largest collection of casts in Switzerland, but also one of the most important in the world. The "Parthenon Project" in the Basel Sculpture Hall is unique. Over decades of work, all the surviving remains of the architectural sculpture of the Parthenon temple in Athens have been brought together, again in casts, and exhibited in such a way that the original context becomes recognizable. A series of exact architectural models on a scale of 1:20 completes the exhibition.
