Starting Sept. 14, the venerable Louis Kahn-designed institution in Fort Worth (TX) welcomes Myth & Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection, featuring 58 pieces from what is considered one of the largest and most important private collections of ancient art in the world.

In the 18th and 19th century, Prince Giovanni Torlonia, a humble merchant turned princely landowner and financier to the Vatican, together with his son Prince Alessandro, amassed an art collection comprising more than 600 pieces of classical antiquities, from busts and funerary monuments to Greco-Roman statues, all excavated from the Torlonia family’s private estates or acquired from Rome’s most prominent patrician families.
