Pio-Clementino museum, Classical sculpture museum in Vatican City.

The Pio Clementino Museum displays Greek and Roman sculptures across 12 exhibition halls within the small Belvedere Palace of Innocent VIII.

The museum emerged from Pope Julius II's collection in 1503, later expanded through excavations in Rome and Lazio during the 18th century.

The Octagonal Court presents the first complete collection of classical sculptures in the Vatican, including the Laocoön statue and Apollo Belvedere.

The museum entrance features the Atrium of the Four Gates and the Simonetti Staircase, which connects to the Gregorian Egyptian Museum.

The Hall of Animals exhibits numerous marble sculptures depicting various creatures, while the Round Hall contains a central gilded bronze Hercules statue.
