A few years ago, museum visitors in New York City finally got the opportunity to see how the statues would actually have appeared when they were created: painted in vibrant colors.
Now, a researcher says there's another aspect to these statues to consider: how they smelled.
Cecilie Brøns, a senior researcher and curator of the Glyptoteket museum's collection of ancient Greek and Roman art in Copenhagen, Denmark, says ancient texts provide evidence that statues were often scentedwith perfumes, oils and waxes.
