Kyoto Graeco-Roman Museum, Art museum in Sakyō-ku, Japan
The Kyoto Graeco-Roman Museum contains an extensive collection of ancient sculptures, ceramics, and mosaics across four exhibition floors in Shimogamo neighborhood.
Founded in 1997, the museum emerged from a private collection of ancient artifacts gathered by a couple who dedicated their resources to bring classical art to Japan.
The institution exhibits over 2700-year-old Etruscan and Southern Italian artifacts, including daily life objects and decorative pieces from ancient civilizations.
The museum opens from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, charges 1000 yen for adults, and stands a 15-minute walk from Kitayama Station on the Karasuma Line.
The fourth floor features a salon where visitors observe mountain views while examining Greek and Roman dress accessories from ancient times.
