Recreating The Parthenon Marbles

The Parthenon Marbles are deteriorated and “strewn across 10 museums in eight countries” and wouldn’t give much of a sense of their original condition even if they were reunited. But the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies is scanning the fragments and recreating them in full as computer models. “It has produced 152 high-resolution models of the sculptures, and produced images which show each in its original position.”
