Glyptothek

This guide to the Glyptothek in Munich follows one ancient marble satyr, fished out of a Roman castle moat in the sixteen twenties with a shattered leg and mangled hands. You'll hear how a cardinal repaired him, how his eventual sale set off a legal fight involving a Pope's antiquarian and the sculptor Antonio Canova, and how a Bavarian crown prince maneuvered to bring him to Munich. The gallery he sleeps in was designed by architect Leo von Klenze, whose original decoration was never fully restored.
