From a monastery to a museum
I leave the Greek and Roman antiquities behind and enter the gilded life of the nobility. So much gold, so much ornateness, so much opulence in their everyday life. Indeed, the Kunstkammer Wien is a conglomeration of several individual collections assembled from
A Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities that span a period of more than three millennia and range from Bronze Age ceramics of Cyprus to early Medieval finds.
Numerous sarcophagi and coffins, animal mummies, examples of the Book of the Dead, grave monuments, divine figures, clothing and cosmetic articles, masterpieces of sculpture
