Room 6 - Greek Art

Room 6 displays numerous original Greek reliefs and sculptures, some votive works and others funerary.

Alongside them are fine Roman copies of famous originals, which enrich the Barracco collection’s panorama of Greek sculpture in the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. and its reception by the Roman world. The showcases also display a collection of Greek vases and one of votive pottery from the Taranto area.
