Museum Reproductions

The casts on sale in the Archaeological Receipts Fund shops are ALL ACCOMPANIED BY NUMBERED CERTIFICATES QUARANTINING THEIR AUTHENTICITY, on production of which they may be taken out of Greece, & also by a brief history of the original work in English, French, German & Greek.

The casts-faithful copies of exhibits in Greek Archaeological Museums -are decorative items of undoubted aesthetic quality, & serve as specific points of reference to specific moments of past time. They are symbols of old, once powerful deities, dedications by humble believers, functional objects associated with everyday life, to which the passage of the centuries has lent the gravity of memory. Their presence in the workplace or home is a link with that most precious possession, our cultural heritage.
The making of casts began in the state-owned workshops in 1893, the year of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, & originally had a scholarly & educational purpose. The outstanding quality of the copies, however, led to their production on a wider scale, & with the additional, more general aim of disseminating & promoting ancient Greek art.
To this end, the Archaeological Receipts Fund established workshops to make the casts-copies, & opened a display & salesroom in the National Archaeological Museum.
Today you can find all the workshop's faithful copies at Art of Greece.
