Fragment from the Room of the Faun

myminifactory

The Munich Votive Relief stands in a rural sanctuary where a sacrificing family approaches Asclepius, the god of healing, seated on a throne beside his daughter Hygieia. A middle altar and a sacred plane tree to the left are surrounded by a pillar with two small traditional figures of the gods in the background. The Barberini Faun, a masterpiece of Greek sculpture, is showcased alongside the "Medusa Rondanini", which was admired by Goethe, and the famous Munich Votive Relief, all displayed in this round room modeled after the Roman Pantheon. The Antike am Königsplatz in Munich features the display of Bavaria's collections of antiquities from Greece, Etruria, and Rome. The sculpture collection is located in the opposite Glyptothek, while works created in Bavaria are showcased in a separate museum. Ancient Egypt has its own dedicated museum.
