Sperlonga - Museo Archeologico Nazionale

Outside Sperlonga, in an olive-grove, the very interesting Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Sperlonga houses an excellent collection of original Greek sculpture in marble. Most of the items, found in the Grotta di Tiberio, are now reduced to the condition of huge torsos. The finest piece is the "Ship of Odysseus", by the sculptor responsible for the famous Laocoon group now in Rome, which depicts Odysseus and his companions struggling with the marine monster Scylla.
