Ancient History

This is something truly special in the Met, NY.

It is a 2500 year old bronze Etruscan war chariot, known as the Monteleone decorated with images of the Archetypal Greek Hero, Achilles. The Etruscans were the people that prospered during the 800s to 400s BC along the Italian Peninsula. Had it not been for the rise of Rome and the inevitable Etruscan-Romano wars, they could have dominated the ancient world and not the Romans.

10 Most Visited Museums in the World

2016 attendance: 6,700,000 You can't possibly see all of The Met's masterpieces in one day: the reconstructed Temple of Dendur, an impressive selection of Greek and Roman statuary, and artwork spanning spanning five millennia (Rembrandt, Raphael, El Greco, Degas, Renoir, and Cézanne are all represented). So pick two or three small sections to see, then come back day after day for more—it's still pay what you want, after all.
