Parthenon Sculptures

The Parthenon Sculptures are a collection of classical Greek marble artworks originally created for the Parthenon temple in Athens during the 5th century BCE. They include detailed friezes, statues, and reliefs depicting mythological scenes, gods, and historical events. Renowned for their artistry and craftsmanship, these sculptures exemplify ancient Greek ideals of beauty and proportion. Over centuries, many were removed and are now housed mainly in the British Museum, sparking debates over cultural heritage and rightful ownership. The sculptures remain iconic symbols of classical art and ancient Greek civilization.
