Displaying the Ideals of Antiquity investigates the study and
display of ancient sculpture from archaeological, art historical,
and museum studies perspectives. Ancient sculptures not only give
us knowledge about ancient Greek and Roman pasts, but they also
mediate ideals that inform modern perceptions of antiquity. This
book analyzes how an art historical tradition establishes and
preserves an idealized view of antiquity in classical archaeology
and in museum exhibitions. The authors investigate how these ideals
are kept alive today-an approach that often is neglected in studies
on ancient reception.This book offers an international scope and
illustrates how academic conceptual foundations influence museum
exhibitions.This timely volume discusses contemporary museum
exhibitions of ancient sculpture and clarifies how old discourses
continue to affect museum exhibitions and conceptualizations of
ancient sculptures. The authors analyze close to 100 museums around
the world, and demonstrate the ways in which ancient sculptures are
mediated across Europe and the West.
