Fodor's Review:
This small but select museum offers a compact overview of sculpture from the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean area, including Egyptian, Assyrian, and Greek works. The chronologically ordered collection is housed in a Renaissance building commissioned by a French prelate, a member of the papal court. Lilies -- symbols of France -- are prominent in the frieze circling the exterior.
- Cost: EUR 2.50
- Open: Closed at least through 2005 for restoration
