Collection des moulages is the University of Geneva’s plaster-cast collection of ancient sculpture, housing about 2,500 casts and molds. It serves research and teaching, presents temporary exhibitions and educational activities for schools and the public, and preserves important sculptural heritage used for comparative study and public outreach.
An exhibition devoted to ancient fakes, copies, imitations and falsifications. Drawing on selections from the Ostraca Collection, complemented by cast collection pieces and loans, the display examines the porous boundary between forgery, copy, imitation and authenticity. Interpretive panels, object labels and a slideshow on several notorious forgeries contextualize the works, tracing techniques, materials and historical practices that shaped both deception and scholarly detection.
