Museum Store Company's Head of Hygeia Statue in Print and on TV This Week

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) August 29, 2007 -- Showcasing Colorado based companies, both the magazine and television station will focus on the Museum Store Company's reproduction of the Head of Hygeia -- originally from 360 B.C. and currently located in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. Recently, the Museum Store Company produced a custom version of this item for a corporate customer in the healthcare industry who was looking for a "unique, tasteful and impressive" gift for industry partners. As such they chose Hygeia, who was the daughter of Asclepios, the God of medicine, and who was worshipped as the Goddess of Health. The original from which our replica is based, is thought to have been the work of Skopas, one of the three greatest sculptors of the 4th century B.C. It probably belonged to a statue which stood in the temple of Athena Alea at Tegea in the Peleponnese.
