With 125 portraits, the Electoral Palace in Mainz has an exceptionally extensive façade program. In addition to an antique gallery, numerous famous Mainz residents are depicted. The busts of Alexander the Great, Karl Theodor von Dalberg, and Lothar Franz von Schönborn are now being offered in a limited edition of ten stone casts each. The price is 850 euros per bust. All proceeds will go towards the renovation of Mainz Castle.

"By purchasing a bust, buyers not only support the renovation of this important Renaissance building, but can also place a piece of Mainz history in their living room, on their terrace, or in their garden, weatherproof and durable!" says Utz Heinzelmann, member of the Mainz Denk!mal network and curator of the accompanying exhibition at the MVB Forum, promoting the campaign.

A joint project of the Mainz Denk!mal network, the state capital of Mainz, and the Mainzer Volksbank (MVB) for the preservation of the Electoral Palace in Mainz.
