Etruscan Bronze Room
The Etruscan bronze room concentrates on metal figures and vessels. It is a useful stop for comparing ancient craft with the tomb goods, jewellery and ceramics elsewhere in the collection.
Why go
Bronze offers a different set of shapes and surfaces from the painted pottery nearby. Here, figures and vessels show how Etruscan makers used metal for both images and useful objects. Keeping the focus on one material makes details of form and workmanship easier to notice across the room.
What to look for
Bronze figures form part of the display.
Metal vessels show another use of the same material.
Useful to know
Compare the scale and purpose of a figure with a vessel.
