Liebieghaus Sculpture Museum
Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung
A villa sculpture museum on the Museumsufer, with sculptures spanning some five thousand years, from ancient Egypt and Greece to Neoclassicism.
Located on the Museumsufer in Sachsenhausen, this was the villa of the 19th-century industrialist Liebieg. Its collection of sculpture covers around five thousand years: ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque and Neoclassicism. The museum is especially known for its research into reconstructing the original painted colours of ancient Greek sculpture. The café in the villa garden is pleasant. Admission is about 12 euros, and the museum is closed on Mondays (check the official website). It is only a few minutes' walk from the Städel Museum.
