Salve mi Mari,

Heh heh...I never thought I'd see anything Roman displayed in the United States. And I haven't. But it happens; I remember coming upon an absolute coffee-table of a book which was the catalog for an exhibition of Roman sculpture.

In a small book about Rome I have a list (though not complete) of museums all over the world where Roman things are on display and for the USA it states the following:
Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, fine Roman Art
Malibu: J. Paul Getty Museum, high ranking art museum in the replica of a Roman villa
New York City: Metropolitan Museum of Art; art museum with many Ancient Roman atracktions
Mari, do you know any of these museums.?I have been to NYC though never set a foot into the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was fancying more the dinosaur skeleton at the Natural History Museum
But I'll make sure I do it the next time I'm in NYC, since I do have friends living in NY State and PA who I visit from time to time, so next time I should go to NYC again.
But that above list is far from being complete since it lacks the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Maybe we should make a list here on the SVR homepage which could get more and more complete whenever someone of us has been to an interesting exhibition.
