Liebighaus

Frommer's Review

The building is an 1896 villa. Its collection includes objects from ancient Egypt, classical Greece and Rome, and medieval and Renaissance Europe. Highlights include a small 8th-century-B.C. bronze horse and Roman copies of the Torso of Polycletus, Praxiteles's Satyr, and Myron's Athena. Although the most ancient artifacts generate the most excitement, the medieval section is also fascinating. Look for the Virgin and Child created in Trier in the 11th century, the head of Barbel von Ottenheim (attributed to van Leyden in 1462), the Riemenschneider Madonna, Andrea della Robbia's altarpiece of the Assumption, and the 16th-century Black Venus with Mirror.
