Musen-Skulpturen im Park Sanssouci kehren restauriert zurück
Eight 18th-century marble sculptures depicting Greek muses have been reinstalled in the western pleasure garden of Park Sanssouci in Potsdam following a six-month restoration project. The works, created by Berlin sculptor Friedrich Christian Glume, represent figures like Melpomene (Tragedy), Klio (History), and Thalia (Comedy) and have been cleaned, repaired, and given a protective coating.
The return of these significant sculptures marks an important conservation milestone for the UNESCO World Heritage site, managed by the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation. The restoration addresses centuries of wear and ensures the preservation of a key artistic ensemble from the reign of Frederick the Great, reflecting the fusion of classical mythology and Baroque garden design central to Sanssouci's cultural identity.
