    In July 1805, even before land for the first building had been secured, the founders of PAFA wrote to France asking for a collection of plaster casts from Paris. Ever since, drawing from the cast has been an integral part of the education of artists attending PAFA. Cheryl Leibold, esteemed Senior Archivist, narrates the history of collecting, exhibiting and studying from the historic cast collection at PAFA over the last two hundred years.
