Abstract (english)	The Hall of Sculpture of the Carnegie Museum of Art is part of the multi-cultural Carnegie Institute built in 1895 and 1907 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Carnegie building complex is recognized as a historic landmark for its architecture design by the United States Department of the Interior and the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation. The neo-classical design of the Hall of Sculpture resemble the cella of the classical Greek Parthenon built in honor of the Greek goddess Athena. The classic white/grey Pentelic marble is the primary architectural stone used in the hall’s columns, balcony, wainscoting, pilasters, cladding, and pedestals. This review is to determine the provenance of the Pentelic marble. The geochemical isotopic data analysis of the Carnegie Pentelic marble samples suggests there were several quarries within the classic Marble Unit 2 and Marble 3 on Mount Pentelikon, Athens, Greece.
