NBC 5, Telemundo 39, and the Kimbell Museum of Art invite you to experience Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection, an exhibition of ancient Roman sculptures. The Torlonia Collection is being shown now, for the first time ever outside of Europe, at the Kimbell until January 23, 2026.<\/p>\n
The exhibition brings 58 masterpieces from the Torlonia Collection, half of them newly restored, that have gone unseen for generations. These marvelous sculptures range from large-scale figures of gods and goddesses to portraits of emperors and funerary monuments. Sculptures date from the 5th century BCE to the early 4th century CE.<\/p>\n
The Torlonia Collection is a private collection of Roman sculptures. The collection became unavailable to the public when the Torlonia Museum originally closed at the onset of WWII. Many of the works presented in the North American tour have never been outside of Rome before!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t miss the chance to marvel at these works of art and explore the stories of their ancient past.<\/p>\n
