The Etruscans: From the Heart of Ancient Italy
introduces the remarkable culture that flourished in ancient Etruria, in the region between the Arno and Tiber Rivers, from the 9th to the 2nd century BC. The Etruscans will feature important artworks lent by museums in Italy, and these treasures will be complemented by additional loans from museums in Europe, the U.S., and Canada. Altogether approximately 180 objects, renowned for their unparalleled beauty and craftsmanship, will display the Etruscans’ rich artistic legacy and offer fascinating insights into their society. The exhibition highlights the Etruscans’ highly skilled craft production and contacts with other cultures around the Mediterranean, their language and religious rituals, burial practices and luxurious grave goods, and aspects of daily life including banqueting and the lives of Etruscan women. The exhibition ends by exploring the Etruscans’ significant influence on ancient Roman society.
The Etruscans: From the Heart of Ancient Italy
has been organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, in collaboration with the San Antonio Museum of Art.
