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.
Hercules is in need of a Hittenberger's back brace!
