The Venus de Milo
This ancient Greek statue belonging to the Hellenistic Period is shrouded in mystery. Experts do not know who this beautiful sculpture depicts - Aphrodite or Amphitrite. Fashioned from marble, the sculpture is a fine example of classic beauty.
The Winged Victory of Samothrace
This beautiful depiction of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, stands tall at a height of 5.57 meters. She is seen as stepping towards a ship, which has led experts to believe that this marble sculpture is the product of a triumphant sea battle.
Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss
