Exhibits in the new museum will change every few months as the objects on display return to what experts consider their territory of origin.
Votive terracotta heads and half-heads from the 3rd and 4th centuries B.C. are displayed in the new"Museum of Rescued Art" in Rome, Wednesday, June 15, 2022. Italy has been so successful in regaining ancient artworks and artifacts illegally exported from the country that it has now created a museum just for them, the Museum of Rescued Art, inaugurated on Wednesday in the cavernous Octagonal Hall of the ancient Baths of Diocletian.
The inaugural exhibit revolves around some 100 of 260 artifacts recovered by the nation's paramilitary Carabinieri art squad from the United States and brought back to Italy in December 2021. The recently recovered antiquities are from before the Roman era, dating back to the 8th to 4th centuries B.C. Many of them came from the area near modern-day Cerveteri, which is awash with remnants of the flourishing Etruscan civilization in west-central Italy.
Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini explained the decision to opt for a series of rotating exhibits in the new museum instead of establishing a permanent collection of rescued art. The exhibition space is part of the National Roman Museum. Its current exhibit runs until October 15, then the museum will display a different batch of recovered antiquities.
