reopen in late 2013 after renovations. Situated in a Renaissance monastery surrounding a
gracious courtyard, it displays some of Sicily's most valuable Greek and Roman artefacts.
The museum's crown jewel is the series of decorative friezes from the temples at Selin-
unte, but there are countless other treasures from archaeological sites throughout the is-
land.
Other important finds on display here include a Phoenician sarcophagus from the 5th
century BC, Greek carvings from Himera, the Hellenistic Ariete di Bronzo di Siracusa
(Bronze Ram of Syracuse), Etruscan mirrors and the largest collection of ancient anchors
in the world.
