More Antalya Archaeological Museum

In one of the halls of statues















The emperor Hadrian was very big here




















As were the Three Graces (Grace Kelly, Gracie Allen,  Grace 
de Coup)




















Part of the Hall of Busts















One of several Roman green men















One of the highlights is a large room displaying the marble friezes that once 
adorned the theatre at Perge
















And another was the collection of local Lycian sarcophogi, perhaps a dozen of the 
big ones
















For example...great condition















Detail




















Rebecca, Rachel: your mother and I have been rethinking our plans for cremation 
and have decided we would like something like this instead; maybe scenes from 
our travels in the friezes (not the Trojan War, please)

Sure, we'll starting reviewing sculptors' resumes. ;)
