Antikenmuseum der Universität Leipzig

Can you feel the whispers of ancient times around you? Imagine the echoes of voices and footsteps that once filled the halls of the Old Nikolai School, just 15 meters to your west. Now, as you stand in the Museum of Antiquities, the past feels almost within reach. Have you noticed the renowned head of Augustus yet? This detailed sculpture captures the power and wisdom that Roman artists sought to immortalize in their leaders. Look to your left at the sleek lines of an Etruscan vase, telling tales of daily life and mysterious rituals. And if you look closely, you might spot traces of paint that once brought these artifacts to life. Let the stories these walls hold enchant you and transport you back to ancient times.
