From ICT's descriptions:
"The data for the models in this gallery was gathered from the Basel Skulpturhalle ( skulpturhalle.ch ) in Switzerland. This museum houses a unique collection of high quality plaster casts of all the known Parthenon sculptures.
Using a custom built structured light scanner, all of these plaster casts have been digitally scanned and assembled as 3D models. Using a systematic scanning approach, the 2,200+ scans used to assemble the meshes were acquired in five days with a team of four people. The models were subsequently aligned, merged, and decimated using the MeshAlign v.2 and MeshMerge software tools developed by the Visual Computing Group at CNR-Pisa in the framework of the EU "ViHAP3D" project."
…
"Please note that these are low-res models at 10% of the scanned polygons."

Instructions
2012-06-19: I have converted the ICT's .wrl files to .stl format (except the "East_Frieze_05B_Textured" file, on which I encountered problems), and made no edits other than omitting from the .stls what appeared to be scaled-down duplicates nested within each object in the original .wrl files.
Based on my own quick examination, these files have many, many holes. They will take a lot of clean-up to be made print-ready. However, once fixed, they look like they will print very well. The ICT says these are "low-res models at 10% of the scanned polygons"; if ICT or Basel Skulpturhalle have published the high resolution scans, I was not able to find them. If you find them please upload them and put a comment below with a link.
