The largest surviving private collection of ancient Roman sculpture.

This collection was assembled by the Torlonia princes throughout the 19th century, and is now being shown to the public for the first time since the mid-20th century in a series of special exhibitions.

The first time the Torlonia marbles have been displayed outside Italy has been at the Louvre, in the restored flats of Anne of Austria, home to the permanent collections of ancient sculpture since the end of the 18th century and the birth of the Louvre Museum.

This exhibition highlights masterpieces of ancient sculpture and invites visitors to contemplate the undisputed jewels of Roman art, as well as delving into the roots of museum history, in the Europe of the Enlightenment and the 19th century.
