Thorvaldsen's cast collection 

During the more than 40 years that Bertel Thorvaldsen lived and worked in Rome, he built up an extensive collection of casts of famous works from antiquity and the Renaissance. Many of them are only individual body parts such as feet, hands, arms, and faces. In this way, the collection contains a wealth of details, all of which were interesting and inspiring when viewed through the eyes of an artist.

Thorvaldsen’s collection of casts is located in the museum’s basement level.
