Museum of Dancing Satyr, Archaeological museum in Mazara del Vallo, Italy
The Museum of Dancing Satyr exhibits a 2-meter-tall bronze statue recovered from the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 500 meters in 1998.
The bronze Dancing Satyr statue dates from the Hellenistic period between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE, discovered by local fishermen near Sicily's southwestern coast.
The museum displays the statue in the Church of Sant'Egidio, featuring detailed craftsmanship with alabaster inlays for eyes and refined bronze work.
Visitors can access the museum from Tuesday to Saturday between 9 AM and 4 PM, and on Sundays and holidays from 9 AM to noon.
The statue's dynamic pose captures a leaping figure with flowing hair, preserved remarkably well after spending two millennia underwater.
