Abstract
Although the Parthenon has stood on the Athenian Acropolis for nearly 2,500 years, its sculptural decorations have been scattered to museums around the world. Many of its sculptures have been damaged or lost. Fortunately, most of the decoration survives through drawings, descriptions, and casts. A component of our Parthenon Project has been to assemble digital models of the sculptures and virtually reunite them with the Parthenon. This sketch details our effort to digitally record the Parthenon sculpture collection in the Basel Skulpturhalle museum, which exhibits plaster casts of almost all of the existing pediments, metopes, and frieze. Our techniques have been designed to work as quickly as possible and at low cost.
