Presented at the Kimbell Art Museum in collaboration with the Fondazione Torlonia, Myth and Marble brings to Fort Worth fifty-eight masterpieces from the celebrated Torlonia Collection—the most important private collection of ancient Roman sculpture in the world.

The exhibition is part of a three-stop North American tour originally conceived and curated by Lisa Ayla Çakmak (Art Institute of Chicago), and overseen in Texas by Jennifer Casler Price, Curator of Antiquities at the Kimbell Art Museum.

Hosted in the luminous spaces of the Renzo Piano Pavilion, the exhibition offers an exceptional opportunity to encounter works that span from the 5th century BC to the 4th century AD: portraits of emperors and heroes, figures of gods and goddesses, and monumental sarcophagi carved with mythological scenes.
Half of the sculptures on view have been newly restored by the Fondazione Torlonia, with the contribution of Bvlgari, as part of a decade-long program dedicated to the preservation and study of the Collection.

Following its debut at the Art Institute of Chicago, the exhibition marks the second stop of the North American tour before continuing to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
15 March 2025 - 29 June 2025 The Art Institute of Chicago Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection will showcase 58 masterpieces from the world’s most important private collection of ancient Roman sculpture - now making its debut overseas. Busts, mythological figures, and sarcophagi - 28 of which have been specially restored for this international tour with the support of the Bvlgari Foundation—will be displayed in a setting designed to spark a dialogue between antiquity and the contemporary architecture of the esteemed museums hosting the exhibition.
26 June 2024 - 6 January 2025 The Louvre The largest ever private collection of ancient Roman sculptures, assembled throughout the 19th century by the Torlonia princes in Rome, is being shown to the public for the first time since the mid-20th century in a series of special exhibitions.

The Louvre will have the privilege of hosting the Torlonia marbles for their first showing outside Italy, in the renovated summer apartments of Anne of Austria – home to the museum’s permanent collection of ancient sculpture since its creation in the late 18th century. Displaying the Torlonia marbles alongside the French national collection will shed new light on the origin of museums and the interest in antiquity – a founding element of Western culture. Showcasing masterpieces of ancient sculpture, the exhibition will present some truly exquisite treasures of Roman art and explore the origins of museums in Europe during the Enlightenment and the 19th century.

Collecting Masterpieces” at the Gallerie d’Italia in Milan showcased 96 outstanding works from the Torlonia Collection — the most important private collection of ancient Roman sculpture in the world. Curated by Salvatore Settis and Carlo Gasparri, the exhibition traced the history of sculpture collecting in Rome from the 15th to the 19th century, highlighting iconic pieces such as the consular sarcophagus with couple and cortege, the Dacian prisoner, busts of Domitian and Antinous, and the celebrated Leda with the Swan. The sculptures, many recently restored with the support of Bulgari, were presented in six thematic sections. This Milanese stop marked the second chapter of the international exhibition project, a major step toward the creation of a future Torlonia Museum.
