Description
An exhibition to celebrate the anniversaries of the birth and death of the founder of modern archaeology, Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768).
The exhibition "The Treasure of Antiquity: Winckelmann and the Museo Capitolino in 18th-century Rome" intends to celebrate the important winckelmannian anniversaries of 2017 (300 years since birth) and 2018 (250 years after death) and fits into the context of the European events coordinated by the Winckelmann Gesellschaft of Stendal, by the Germanic Archaeological Institute of Rome and by the Vatican Museums.
The exhibition has a dual purpose: the first, to offer visitors the story of the crucial years that led, in December 1733, to the establishment of the Museo Capitolino, the first public museum in Europe, intended not only for conservation but also to the promotion of the "magnificence and splendour of Rome"; the second, presenting the Capitoline sculptures in a different light, or through the intuitions, often brilliant, of the great Winckelmann.
