The main hall, Greek and Roman galleries at the Met

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art website:

The New Greek and Roman Galleries house art created between about 900 B.C. and the early fourth century A.D., tracing the parallel stories of the evolution of Greek art in the Hellenistic period and the arts of southern Italy and Etruria and culminating in the rich and varied world of the Roman Empire. The astonishing assembly of works on display--some never before seen by the public--bring to life the visual and conceptual roots of Western civilization.
