Member Lecture: Myth and Marble—Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection

From large-scale figures of gods and goddesses to portraits of emperors and magnificent funerary monuments, "Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection" brings to North America, for the first time, a selection of 58 rarely seen ancient Roman sculptures from Italy’s storied Torlonia Collection.

Nearly half of these sculptures, which range in date from the 5th century BCE to the early 4th century CE, have been newly cleaned, conserved, and studied specifically for this exhibition, offering a rare opportunity to experience their first public presentation in decades.
