Old statues

I have always believed that the old Greek classic statues were white - just plain marble white.
Boy, was I wrong!

New techniques like uv-lights and electromicroscopes have shown that these statues were indeed quite colorful.

A display has been shown in Copenhagen where they have analyzed some marble statues and made replicas with the colors they were able to reconstruct.

Imagine what it would be like to walk the streets of old Greece and the Roman empire...
