In its sixth edition, the special presentation Vitrine EXTRA, which regularly presents various antique objects temporarily in the permanent exhibition of the Collection of Classical Antiquities at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, follows in the colourful footsteps of Greco-Roman antiquity. Based on a relief depicting Mithras, the god of light, the presentation focuses on the vibrant multicoloured nature of Roman statues and monuments - impressively demonstrating just how colourful they originally were! On the occasion of the ‘European Archaeology Days’, the team of experts from the ‘PolychroMon’ project will be on site to provide information about current research into the polychromy of antiquity.
