The museum hosts extensive collections of Greek
and Roman antiquities. The greater part of the
museum's classical sculpture collection largely
comes from the Farnese Marbles,
important since they include Roman copies of
classical Greek sculpture, which are in many
cases the only surviving indications of what the
lost works by ancient Greek sculptors such
as Calamis, Kritios and Nesioteslooked like

gnomon placed on the top in the southwestern
corner, falls on the meridian line of the floor,
going along it according to the seasons.
