MUSEO GREGORIANO PROFANO
Museum preserving Greek and Roman masterpieces, copies and originals, in Rome.
The secular Gregorian Museum, founded in 1844 in the Lateran Palace, was transferred to its present location in 1970. It houses Greek and Roman originals and copies, mainly discovered during excavations carried out in the Papal States from 1820 onwards. Situated at the end of the route, it is home to a number of masterpieces that deserve to be admired. Among the original Greek statues are a horse's head from the Parthenon pediment and a pensive Penelope, engraved on a funerary frieze from the5th century BC.
