Ancient art reproductions

We spent the whole afternoon yesterday at the museum seeing all kinds of cool ancient art. This photo isn't in that class but this is just as important. This is a tempera painting on paper that researchers did 1920's to 1940's before there was colour photography. They were created using the exact colour and they were made to scale of the pictures on tombs. There importance is heightened since much of what they depict and is housed in this museum is no longer visible due to damage by pollution  etc
