This was their home





I didn't take many pictures inside the museo, but bought a book instead. No picture we took would begin to do justice to the wonderous array of art and artifacts.

One of the first rooms in the museo is a hall of early Roman sculpture. While the Greeks believed in honoring human perfection, the Roman's believed in honoring the real person. As a result, the busts and sculptures in the gallery brought to life the people of ancient Rome, each with his or her own personality and quirks. I could easily imagine them in temples, at meals with family and at work.
