Antiquities from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome are pristine white in most of the world’s imagination – even if they were vibrantly colourful back in their time. “Gods in Color,” a traveling exhibition that stages precise full-colour reproductions of ancient sculptures and juxtaposes these with their original, now-monochrome versions, aims to give the public a chance to witness antiquities as they were first meant to be seen.
