Snippet:
History and forensic art come together in Budapest, where visitors examined Roman-era skulls displayed beside realistic facial reconstructions as sculptor Emese Gábor recreated ancient faces using 3D-printed skulls and plasticine. The Aquincum Museum exhibition, titled "Once We Were Like You", features 16 facial reconstructions from skulls found at the ancient Roman settlement of Aquincum, six of them hyper-realistic silicone models by Gabor.
