They will be copied in a heartbeat, and in year's time we'll encounter them in one of the shelter magazines--just you wait and see!

Can you imagine what these rooms (and especially the sculptures!) would look like when lit with 100's of candles and the smell of beeswax in the air? It must have been surreal. Thank you again, really appreciate your lovely pics.Jeannine520https://www.blogger.com/profile/02528971053015531108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-59671443573897446012017-01-12T14:04:56.430-05:002017-01-12T14:04:56.430-05:00Thanks everyone!

Rather it has always been filled with precious artworks by Bernini, Caravaggio, Titian, Raphael, Rubens and others; a veritable art history lesson under one roof". That is so true. Lots of families had money, but not too many families had a Villa Borghese!<br /><br />Thanks for the link<br />Hels<br />Art and Architecture, mainly<br />http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/villa-borghese-palace-of-arts.htmlHelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-55900386005883690792017-01-11T18:40:50.410-05:002017-01-11T18:40:50.410-05:00Wonderful museum which I saw two years ago, and li...Wonderful museum which I saw two years ago, and like you, thought of as a highlight. The mind boggles at the building as well as the sculpture and art contained within it. Thank you for this wonderful post that brought back great memories.

WELL WORTH IT. It's not expensive and if something else comes up you won't feel bad not showing up. There is always a wait list so your spot won't go to waste.
