About the exhibition
For the first time, this exhibition brings to North America fifty-eight masterpieces from Italy’s storied Torlonia Collection, from large-scale figures of gods and goddesses to portraits of emperors and magnificent funerary monuments. Half of these sculptures, which range in date from the 5th century BC to the early 4th century AD, have been newly conserved and studied specifically for this exhibition, offering a rare opportunity to experience these exceptional artworks and explore the fascinating stories they reveal about both their ancient pasts and their modern afterlives.
