NOW YOU CAN BUY THIS BRITISH MUSEUM
ANTINOUS BUST FOR YOUR OWN HOME



LONDON's British Museum has revolutionized the gift shop experience by offering an affordable replica of the famous Townley bust of Antinous as Dionysus shown above.

You can now buy a resin replica of the bust from the Museum's Grenville Shop or ONLINE for £200.

The original is on display in the Museum in Room 70, in Ancient Greece and Rome.

This attractive replica represents the fascinating meeting of modern technology with ancient art, and would make the perfect gift or addition to your home. 


This replica has been created exclusively for the British Museum by ThinkSee3D, experts in 3D digital heritage. 

It is part of the British Museum's wider work with 3D technology, building on the AHRC funded MicroPasts project. This technology was also used to recreate a replica of the Ancient Egyptian Statue of Roy. 

The Antinous bust project is the first time the British Museum has been able to use 3-D technology to produce something to buy. This exciting use of technology means that this replica has been created faithfully with no damage to the original object, at a reduced size from the 81 cm (2 ft) statue on display. 

To create a replica, ThinkSee3D takes the British Museum Digital Team's scans of artefacts on display in the Museum?s galleries and produces 3D prints from which moulds are made. 

These moulds are then used for production of the replicas which are cast using traditional techniques and finished by British artists.
