After the epidemic, the European ticket is greatly increased. When we did the guide in 2019, the ticket here was 8 euros, and when we arrived in September 2023, it was 22 euros, but when we hesitated to buy tickets, the staff actually told us that it was free day!

That said, after our visit, we decided that in today's climate of ticket prices, 22 euros is worth it! So we were lucky to get a free tour.

First floor: The Farnese Family Collection of Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture It is important to emphasize that this collection is the finest collection of Greco-Roman antiquities in the world. The vast exhibition area on the entire ground floor is the icing on the cake for these works. One hall after another, as if in layer by layer, not only will not aesthetic fatigue, on the contrary, let people feel a wave of surprise waves.

Farnese Bull, the treasure of the Town Hall
The work depicts an ancient Greek story in which the queen Diels, jealous of Antiope's beauty, ordered her twin brothers Zetes and Amphimeng to kill her. The shepherd told the brothers that they were in fact the illegitimate children of Antiope and Zeus, so the brothers tied Dils to the horns of an ox.

Antiope told his sons to calm down, but they were already in a rage -- Zetes drew the bull toward him with a rope, and Amphitong put his hands on the bull's head to throw Dils under the bull's feet and kill her.

The entire sculpture, carved from a large granite block, was discovered in the Baths of Caracalla in Rome in 1545, restored by Michelangelo, and shipped to Naples in 1787.

When I finished analyzing the sculpture for my partner, an elderly couple from Sichuan came up to ask for some details. After answering the question, they asked me if I had graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, and they sighed that I had done too much homework.

It is lucky to see these sculptures, but if you understand the story and details, you will enjoy it completely... Well, so I'm sharing what I know here, so that people can see it, as a way to add fun and meaning to your trip.
