| Barracco Museum of Antique Sculpture |
|
Museo Barracco di Scultura Antica (Italian, Barracco Museum of Antique Sculpture) is a museum in Rome, Italy, featuring a collection of works acquired by the collector Giovanni Barracco, who donated his collection to the City of Rome in 1902.
Among the works are Egyptian, Assyrian, and Phoenician art, as well as Greek sculptures of the classical period. The prestigious collection of antique sculpture donated to the Municipality of Rome by Giovanni Barracco in 1904, generally considered to be one of the most beautiful collections of all Rome’s museums, is, as a result of these recent works, available to a wider public. The eclectic combination of the art-historical importance of the building, a sixteenth century example of the work of the Florentine renaissance, and the archaeological collection of antique sculpture housed in it creates a harmonius atmosphere that can finally be enjoyed also by those who until now were deprived of it.
