New Wing

Why go

The nineteenth-century wing was built as a setting for classical works, so architecture and collection reinforce each other. Augustus of Prima Porta gives visitors a named anchor, while the wider gallery shows how ancient statues were arranged for display in a later age. The contrast between Roman object and neoclassical setting is part of the visit.

What to look for

• Augustus of Prima Porta is displayed in the New Wing.
• The gallery itself is a nineteenth-century neoclassical space.

Useful to know

• View the Augustus statue, then step back to take in the gallery setting.
