Musei Vaticani: Museo Gregoriano Profano
The Gregorian Profane Museum was founded in 1844 by Gregory XVI Chapellari at the headquarters of the Apostolic Palace of the Lateran. Only in 1970 the ancient finds that composed it were transferred to the current headquarters of the Vatican Museums. The activity is to document different themes of classical art of ancient Greece up to the Imperial Roman Age. In fact, in the areas of the building we find several funerary stelas and fragments of Greek sculptures as well as altars and sarcophaguses of the Imperial Roman Age.
