Bertel Thorvaldsen’s Roman-era career not only produced neoclassical masterpieces but also a remarkable collection of art and antiquities. His museum preserves 657 plaster casts alongside paintings, drawings, and relics that vividly capture his creative process and reveal aspects of early 19th-century plaster trade.
