If you are coming down the stairs of the Pergamon Altar, you would be faced with these benches. Unfortunately, the freize lining the wall was not intact when it was found, but there are still lots of really nice pieces.
Here are a few details from the freize.
As you can imagine, you could really spend a lot of time here studying all of these pieces. It's such an impressive museum. I hope you've enjoyed this short tour through the main exhibits. I still have a few detail shots, but I will probably post them some time in the future.
really neat!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason these sculptures remind me of some in the d'Orsay musee in Paris. And I'm always amazed at the skill of the ancient craftsmen who brought these to "life."
ReplyDeleteI could be quite happy in there.
ReplyDeleteFriezes like that are hard to come by...
ReplyDeleteThe pats that are still there are quite impressive!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pieces!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, amazing places, lovely bench!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantastic space!
ReplyDeleteAmazing art!
ReplyDeleteI was in Athens a year ago and a great many of the friezes are missing pieces, just like this one. Given the age and beauty, I guess we are lucky to have whatever we do have.
