Dedicated to sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, the Thorvaldsens Museum has some of the best works of the artist and is loved for its collection of sculptures, paintings, sketches, graphic art, medals, personal belongings, letters, personal books and porcelain artefacts. The museum is also the burial place of the artist.

Start you visit from the inner courtyard where the artist was laid down and proceed to see the Egyptian accents including trapezoidal doors and traditional colours. The whole museum is filled with bronze, plaster and marble sculptures along with Greek, Egyptian and Roman paintings, drawing and prints collected by the artist during his travel around the world! Rome was where Bertel Thorvaldsen lived and worked for most of his life and the collection shows just that!

Some of the highlights include:

• ‘The Three Graces with Cupid’ sculpture
• The Cupid’ sculpture
• ‘The Shepherd’ sculpture
• ‘Young Girl Dancing’ sculpture
• A portrait of the artist painted by Floriano Pietrocola
