Venus de Milo (Aphrodite of Milos)

Scale model of ancient Rome created by French architect Paul Bigot (1870-1942). He is famous for creating 4 of these plaster models between 1908 and 1942. Only two of them remain. This one is located in the Art and History, Brussels, Belgium. The other one is located in Caen, France.
Huge thanks to Scan The World https://www.myminifactory.com/scantheworld/ : I went to Brussels thanks to a challenge they organized, and this scan would not have been made without them.

Massive scale model of Ancient Rome

Model of a dodo bought for the museum in 1938.

The head and feet are plaster casts, attached to a body covered in chicken or goose feathers with whole chicken wings added. The tail is made from tufts of ostrich or goose feathers. 

Most models are based on paintings of Dodos which were not scientifically accurate. Now, we know that Dodos were probably much slimmer than this specimen and had longer legs.

The Sierra Leone-flagged EDRO III ran aground off Pegeia on 8 December 2011 in heavy seas, during a voyage to Rhodes, from Limassol, Cyprus with a cargo of plasterboard. At the time of the accident, the ship had nine crew members - seven Albanians and two Egyptians. The crew were rescued and airlifted to the safety of Paphos by a local British Military helicopter.

The EDRO III weighs about 2,345 tons and is over 80 meters in length. According to Cyprus Marine Environment Protection Association CMEPA, the ship is empty of all cargo and fuel oil and rests on the sea rocks at an 11-12 degree angle. Embarking on the ship is no longer permitted as it is dangerous. Together with Germany's CIMEXTA Vessel Salvage Company, the task of safe removal of all diesel, hydrocarbons and marine pollutants onboard the vessel, and watertighting the hull was awarded to a Cypriot marine salvage company. This was completed in October 2013.

Shipwreck

Marble portrait head of Alexander the Great: the head was cut to fit into a separately made body. The surface is in good condition with only minor abrasions. The back of the head has been worked to receive the remainder of the hair, which was probably made of another material, such as stucco or plaster.

Historic wooden church in Trzęsówka, Subcarpathia, Poland.

From Wikipedia:
The church was built in 1759 as a court chapel of the Kuczkowski family. It originally bore the invocation of St. John the Evangelist. In 1778 it became a branch church. From 1788 it became the parish church of the newly-established parish of Saint Anne.

In 1903 the nave was lengthened by 9 meters, the roof was covered with galvanized sheet metal, and a side chapel and a granary were added. The wooden floor was replaced with cement board flooring, and the square windows were replaced with arched ones. In 1905, the interior was plastered, polychrome was laid, the altars were restored, the organ and the fence were repaired. A new organ was purchased in 1960. The altars were renovated in 1976, and the polychrome in 1977.

The building served as a parish church until 2004, when a new temple was put into use. On April 7, 2004 it was entered in the register of monuments

Adonis (A53), 1887, Executed by August Saabye after Thorvaldsen's original plaster model 1808, Marble, height: 186 cm. Thorvaldsen Musem (Copenhagen, Denmark). Made with ReMake and ReCap Pro from AutoDesk.

Adonis is the most handsome and sought-after young man in Greek mythology, but his birth was defiled in that he was born as the son of a woman called Myrrha, who had had an incestuous relationship with her father. As a punishment, Myrrha was changed into a tree – the myrrh tree. And when the appointed time had passed, the bark of the tree burst and the infant Adonis came into the world. In a certain sense, Adonis was doomed from the start, and he was indeed only quite young when he was killed by a wild boar during a hunt. We can see the tree on which he is supporting himself and the dead hare as references to his birth and death respectively.
