For the first time in 300 years major works
of classical sculpture which were once
held together in collections in Rome were
reunited. Forty-six masterpieces from the
Dresden antiquities collection were displayed
in the halls of the Museo Nacional
del Prado alongside works from the holdings
of the Prado. The works on show are
from the royal collections of Madrid and
Dresden and are among the most significant
collections of antiquities outside Italy.
Together they are exemplary key works
of Classical antiquity, ranging from the
Greek Classical period to Late Roman art.
An expanded version of the exhibition will
be on display in Dresden in 2009.
