The Pergamon Altar was built as a monumental structure during the reign of Greek King Eumenes II in the first half of the 2nd century BC on one of the terraces of the acropolis in the ancient Greek city of Pergamon, Asia Minor. It is now showcased at the Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke in Munich, a museum featuring an impressive collection of classical paintings and sculptures. The exhibit includes masterpieces from Greek and Roman antiquity spanning over 1,500 years, from the 7th century BC to the 5th century AD. This remarkable object is part of "Scan The World", a non-profit initiative launched by MyMiniFactory to create a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks, and landmarks from around the globe. This treasure trove of cultural heritage is accessible for free to the public through Scan the World's open-source community effort.
