Rome - Guess what? Rome has lots of cool museums
So I mistakenly thought that the Capitoline Museum was the primary archaeological museum in Rome. I was wrong. It turns out that Palazzo Massimo alle Terme is the main archaeological museum in Rome. We went there and holy crap. I don't even know what to say except just go. One banger after another. A small sampling of highlights below. I'm too lazy to include links any more. You know how to search the internet.
This sculpture of the boxer is amazing. I do not have words to describe how amazing this sculpture is in person. Note the use of copper inlays to show blood, and the bruise under his eye. I would love to see what this looked like before being buried for two millennia.
