Not on view

This 1880 view of the Museum depicts a gallery arched iron roof supports, skylights and a balcony. A classical sculpture of Medea flanks an entrance in the left foreground, with a second marble of a reclinging woman at right. The gallery beyond contains glass cases. A border around the central image represents objects in the collection–four sides of an ancient stone sarcophagus and terracotta vase from Amathus, Phoenician vases, terracotta heads from the Temple of Apollo Hylates, metal adornments, and two Asian porcelain jars.
