Turkey's happy ending to loosing their marbles

Hercules is home!!
It turns out Boston Museum of Fine Arts (see earlier blog posts) mounted an exhibition of one of their major donor's collections - including the top half of Hercules. The folks at the Antalya Museum picked up on it and, since they had the rest of the torso, negotiated for a reunion of the parts. I'm happy to say Boston behaved well and this sculpture takes your breath away!

And then there is a HUGE hall filled with Nemsis ( or should it be Nemeses?). Once, again, breathtaking.
