Abstract

3D scan of a figure holding a crown and wearing jewelry, that is part of the architecture in Hall 6 of NHM Vienna, representing the chemical element Gold (Au). Gold is not only very rare but also one of the softest and heaviest metals and resistant to attack by air, heat, moisture and most solvents. Thanks to these qualities and its warm shine, gold was deemed the most precious of metals. All figures in Hall 6 of the NHM Vienna were created by Edmund Hofmann. The figure is wearing jewelry and holding a crown made of gold.
