Glimpse a lost culture in the heart of the Mediterranean: tour this online exhibition of the 3,000-year-old giants sculpted by a towering civilization that remains little known today. Thousands of shattered limestone pieces came to light in 1974 in Mont'e Prama (western Sardinia) and have been reassembled into dozens of massive statues that reward close study by archaeologists, historians, conservators, and restorers.
Now symbols of Sardinia's rich cultural history, these sculptures draw crowds to the museums in Sardinia. Their story can be explored through the six chapters and photo galleries of this exhibition: Introduction; Rites of Initiation, War, and Death in Mont’e Prama; Mont’e Prama Excavation, Research, and Restoration; Landscapes of Mont’e Prama; The Restoration and Conservation of the Giants of Mont’e Prama; The Illicit Trafficking of Sardinian Cultural Property.
