You could almost say a lapidarium is a museum or storage building for stone and plaster sculptures. Is The Lapidarium of Kings in Copenhagen Worth Visiting? Srebrna narukvica sa zelenom patinom iz kolekcije Val Silvia Hrnčira. Unutarnji dio obložen je kožom koja stvara ugodan osjećaj prilikom nošenja. Much of Gilbert Scott’s exposed work at roof-level was starting to decay by the end of the twentieth century and the piecemeal replacements of pinnacles of coping has resulted in many of the stones catalogued by this study but not added to the Lapidarium collection. Pearson’s restoration of the west façade was generally sympathetic, although notes from this time preserved in the Chapter archives and early photographs of the west façade show many Romanesque mouldings and sculptural forms were illegible before this time.

Ilyen kőkönyvek Theofrasztosz (Kr. e. 371-287) lapidáriuma (Peri lithon), az Orfikus kőkönyv, a Damigeron című kompiláció (egy ókori csodatevő neve után), majd a mezopotámiai, amidai születésű Aetion, I. Justinianus császár (527-565) háziorvosának lapidáriuma a 16 könyvből álló orvosi művében (teljes latin fordítása Cornarius által Bázel, 1542), Epiphaniosz (315 k.-403) műve (Peri tón dódeka lithón) a zsidó főpapi mell-ékszer 12 drágakövének allegorizáló magyarázata (azok tulajdonságainak és erejének taglalásával), Pszellosz Mihály (1017/1018-1078 u. vagy 1096) lapidáriuma ( Peri lithon dünameon, a Scripta minorá-ban, kiadta Kurtz és Drexl, 1936-1941) és más művek. A középkor elején Sevillai Izidor (556 k.-636) Etimológiák című enciklopédiája ( Origines címmel is előfordul: Origines sive Etymologiae) szintén foglalkozik a drágakövekkel és bolygókkal, akárcsak az idősebb Plinius (Kr. u. 23/24-79), Naturalis Historiae (Kr. u. 77) című művének 35-37. fejezete. (A könyv utolsó, 37. fejezetét az ifjabb Plinius adta hozzá a befejezetlen műhöz.) Plinius tanítását a középkori lapidáriumok is népszerűsítették. The area below the Chapter Room became a vestry before World War I and the Undercroft was used as an air-raid shelter through both wars. In 1980, Arnold noted that, despite Payne's efforts, 'the stones had since been scattered again, a few preserved elsewhere in the cathedral, but many simply piled up on a ledge inside the ruined Chapter House, exposed to the weather. Some of the best have disappeared, doubtless taken as souvenirs or ornaments"". At Arnold's instigation, following discussions with Cathedral Architect Emil Godfrey, in 1981 the Lapidarium was established in the Treasury over the North Quire Transept. A 1994 portfolio in the Chapter Library compiled by Arnold is a valuable record of this project. In 1986 Cathedral Campers» redecorated the space and repaired the walls and floor. Cathedral Surveyor Martin Care designed the shelving, which was installed by the Royal School of Military Engineering, and Claire Walker and Leslie Hudson are credited with collecting 245 stones and moving them up to the space via a spiral staircase in the North Quire Transept. In around 2010 a programme of cleaning, consolidation and classification of the stones was started by London City & Guilds students of stone conservation. Each academic year a few stones are transferred, so that a significant portion of the stones catalogued in 1992 have now been conserved. This museum consists of six Jewish monuments clustered together in Josefov: the Maisel Synagogue; the Pinkas Synagogue; the Spanish Synagogue; the Klaus…

In 2021 the Lapidarium collection was moved to a chamber over the South Quire Transept and choice fragments are exhibited in the Cathedral Crypt. The conservation, care, and curation of the Lapidarium collection has been a major undertaking over several decades.

Much of the Cathedral and the Lapidarium collection date from the major building campaigns in Caen Stone during the twelfth century featuring a vast and diverse collection of fine Romanesque designs. Cetatea Oradea a fost amenajat un lapidariu la subsol, cu spații expoziționale, spații de depozitare, spații de cercetare, laboratoare, spații administrative, cafenea, spațiu comercial, garderobă, spații pentru secretariat și informații, sală de lectură, bibliotecă virtuală, grupuri sanitare și punct termic, însumând 5.909,60 metri pătrați restaurați și refuncționalizați. The largest statues are housed on the ground floor, which is where you’ll find a mounted statue of Christian V and a copy of a mounted statue of Frederik V. In the fifth hall there are mainly torsos, e.g. apart of the Marian column from the Old Town Square, one of the masterpieces by Jan Jiří Bendl, who is also the author of equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas, originally standing in the middle of the Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) and the copy of which is nowadays mounted in Vyšehrad. Thanks to the statue of Hercules fighting with alion, from ahouse in the New Town (Nové Město) from the 17 th century, we can see colorfulness of polychrome sculptures of that time. The original of the Wimmer’s fountain, acopy of which is at Uhelný trh [Coal Market Square], from the year 1797 by František Xaver Lederer is also worth admiring.

In 1995, the Lapidarium was placed in the top ten of most beautiful exhibitions in Europe in an international competition. Cathedral Camps was a charity which used young volunteers, known as Cathedral Campers, to help with the conservation of cathedrals and churches. The first hall is devoted to the Romanesque and Gothic period. E.g. there is afragment of the oldest Czech monumental relief from atympanum from Oldříš, achildren’s epitaph of Guta II, the tenth daughter of King Wenceslaus II, from the Convent of St. Agnes, pillars from the crypt decoration of the former Basilica of St. Vitus at the Prague Castle or our oldest preserved space sculpture – acouple of lying lions on apedestal, from the beginning of the 13 th century and last but not least aset of engraved Gothic epitaphs of the abbots from Ostrov uDavle. The earliest scientists ground and processed minerals in a centuries-long quest for a mythic stone that would prolong human life. Michelangelo climbed mountains in Tuscany searching for the sugar-white marble that would yield his sculptures. Catherine the Great wore the wealth of Russia stitched in gemstones onto the front of her bodices.Pavilon nazvaný Lapidárium na pražském Výstavišti postavil jako sezonní provizorium pražský architekt Antonín Wiehl pro Zemskou jubilejní výstavu 1891. Stavitelem novorenesanční budovy byl stavitel Quido Bělský. Ztehdejších exponátů zde zůstaly jen ty nejstarší - hliněné dlaždice zVyšehradu. Základ dnešního Lapidária byl shromážděn roku 1898 při významné Výstavě architektury ainženýrství. Pro tuto výstavu byl vbarokizujícím secesním stylu pavilon dostavěn apřestavěn architektem Antonínem Hrubým. Kexponátům této výstavy přibývaly další, zejména zdomů zbořených za asanace staré Prahy na přelomu století. Tak byla vroce 1905 otevřena pro veřejnost stálá expozice Lapidária. Zasloužil se oto především Jan Koula aVáclav Fabián. Součástí expozice byl tehdy iLangweilův model Prahy, který Národní muzeum později věnovalo městu. Taking a cue from Arnold's initial investigations, the Lapidarium database has been expanded to include a comprehensive 3D record of the 350 in-situ spolia reused around the Cathedral and Precinct. Together these corpora are vital in understanding the medieval fabric of the Cathedral and Cloisters. The west triforium passage of the Nave North Aisle is largely composed of other Romanesque architectural fragments from the west façade replaced during the insertion of the Great West Window. Scaffolding along the north side of the Cathedral in recent years has provided once-in-a-lifetime access for recording. The Nave north and south walls incorporate fragments of former Romanesque windows and the Perpendicular clerestory features dozens of shaft drums reused from the former Romanesque clerestory. Dozens of marble sculptural fragments from the twelfth-century cloisters are reused in the external facing of the Old Deanery, accessed using the 10m aerial-work-platform funded by the Friends in 2007 and still going strong! Together with the Lapidarium collection, this sizeable database is now available online in 3D (via www.rochestercathedral.org/lapidarium), preserving and opening these collections for further study as we piece together our understanding of the medieval Cathedral. På kirkegårdene ses tit udvalgte bevaringsværdige sten samlet i en slags udendørs museum, men mange steder er det blot alle gravsten fra nedlagte grave samlet eet sted på kirkegården, hvilket så også er et lapidarium omend mere uformelt. Anneliese Arnold, wife of Dean John Arnold (1978-1989), noted that despite Payne's efforts the majority of fragments had since been scattered again, a few preserved elsewhere in the cathedral, but many ‘simply piled up on a ledge inside the ruined Chapter House, exposed to the weather. Some of the best have disappeared, doubtless taken as souvenirs or ornaments.’ Following discussions with Cathedral Architect Emil Godfrey in 1981 Arnold established the Lapidarium in a chamber over the east of the North Quire Transept.
