New 3-D digital reconstruction of the statue of Athena Parthenos unveiled as part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) new Ancient World galleries

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), unveiled its transformed George D. and Margo Behrakis Wing for Art of the Ancient World: five reimagined galleries for the art of ancient Greece, Rome and the Byzantine Empire that tell new stories about some of the oldest works in the MFA’s collection on December 18th.

As part of this redisplay, a new 3-D digital reconstruction of the statue of Athena Parthenos can be experienced through augmented reality available on the museum’s app, as well as in a behind-the-scenes video of the process showing in the gallery. The goal is to recreate how people in ancient Rome may have seen it — in colour.

More details about the reconstructionand the new galleries were given in this article.
