About
A guided tour of the Musée des Moulages in Montpellier traces the history of cast collections from the 19th century, illustrating the development of Greek art from Egyptian influences to Roman legacy, held over both days of Heritage Days 2026.
This guided tour of the Musée des Moulages in Montpellier takes visitors on a journey back to the 19th century, when archaeology was an emerging discipline and plaster casts served as essential educational tools.
Following the museum's permanent route, visitors explore how these casts helped students understand the evolution of Greek art — from its early debt to Pharaonic Egypt through to its lasting influence on the Roman Empire.
The tour takes place across both days of the European Heritage Days 2026, on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September.
