AB Taking into account the absence of the museum of Antiquities in the Czech environment, the plaster cast collection was meant for getting to know works from Antiquity not only for students of the Philosophical Faculty of the Charles-Ferdinand University but also their teachers and general public. Its roots go back to the 1970s when they were under supervision of classical philologists - prof. O. Benndorf, E. Petersen, W. Klein, C. Praschniker, A. Gotsmich. The collection was kept in rooms of the Clementinum in Prague, although it is known that there were plans for its displacement but it has never been realized. After the Second World War, it has been taken over by the Philosophical Faculty of the restored Czech Charles University.
