Opening
March 16, the multi-million dollar reinstallation of the permanent
classical galleries at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology, presents the Museum's unique
classical collections in a modern, thematic context and shows how
these cultures continue to influence and inspire our world today.
The Etruscan World gallery will be the only comprehensive
exhibit of Etruscan objects currently on display in the United States.
More
than 1,000 ancient artifacts are on display--including
marble and bronze sculptures, jewelry, metalwork, mosaics, glass
vessels, gold and silver coins, and pottery of exceptional artistic
and historical renown--drawn from the Museum's outstanding
Mediterranean collection of more than 30,000 objects, dating from
3,000 B.C. to the 5th century A.D. Of special importance are artifact
groups from the Etruscan tomb groups excavated at Narce and Vulci,
Roman statuary from the Sanctuary of Diana Nemorensis on the shores
of Lake Nemi, south of Rome, and sculpture and architectural decoration
from the Museum's own excavations at Minturnae, north of Naples.
Museum
hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10
a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. Closed Mondays and holidays.
Admission donation is $5 for adults; $2.50 for senior citizens and
students with ID; free to Members, PENNcard holders, and children
6 and under. From now through May 18, 2003 the Museum is
free to the public on Sundays.
