Egyptian Museum: Statuary Hemicycle

Why go

This space once belonged to the Belvedere apartment of Pius IV, so its architecture has a history apart from the objects it now holds. The curve changes how the figures are seen as a group, while its opening toward the terrace links an indoor collection to the museum’s outdoor spaces. It rewards attention to the room itself.

What to look for

• Stone figures follow the curve of the hemicycle.
• The room opens toward the Terrace of the Niche.

Useful to know

• Look at the shape of the room as well as the statuary.
