Hall of the Muses

The Belvedere Torso gives the Hall of the Muses its strongest draw. Its surviving body makes this a focused stop for anyone interested in classical anatomy and fragmentary sculpture.

Hall of the Muses

Why go

The Torso survives without the complete figure around it, yet its modelled muscles still hold attention. Set among Muses and poets, it asks you to look at how much a fragment can communicate. The room therefore offers a different encounter with antiquity from halls built around complete statues or grand architectural effects.

What to look for

  • The Belvedere Torso is a fragment, with its modelled body still visible.
  • Figures of Muses and poets share the room.

Useful to know

  • Spend a moment with the Torso before surveying the other figures.
