ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM, Classic Antiquity Interior

Now you are inside the Museum of Antiquities. Its historic headquarters are inside the "Orangerie", which is the greenhouse of the Royal Gardens. Enter on the ground floor and you'll be welcomed into a bright room dedicated to classical sculpture, with Roman copies of Greek masterpiece statues, including Phidias' Amazon, Polycletus' Diadumenos, and the statue of Eros that has been attributed to Praxiteles. There are several examples of official Roman statues here, like a marble throne from Luni, Tuscany and a torso in imperial porphyry.

Shortly after you'll enter a hall with Roman works, including three statues of figures in armor that were found in the excavations of Susa, a Piedmont town situated along the road of the Alps that was important in Roman times as a transit point to Gaul.

You should definitely note the refined mosaic floor depicting the mythical poet Orpheus taming the wild beasts while playing the zither. The mosaic is from Cagliari, and is part of the antiquities sent to Turin from the territories that were part of the Savoy's Kingdom, such as Sardinia....
