Musei Vaticani: Museo Pio Cristiano
The Pius Christian Museum was founded in 1852 by Pope Pius IX and originally hosted ancient works exhibited at the Lateran Museum. Inside the Museum you can see finds that come from the 6th century onwards and, of particular beauty, we find the statue of the Good Shepherd, which was originally a high relief of a sarcophagus. The statue resumes a young man with a tunic above his knees who loads a lamb behind him.
