Giambologna, The Rape of the Sabine Women
So, you’ve probably just made it through the metal detector in the entrance hall – hope that all went smoothly! A custodian will then tear your ticket and invite you to step inside the first room of the Museum: the Colosso Hall. Here, with the door behind you, Giambologna’s Rape of the Sabine Women should be directly in front of you. You can’t miss it. It’s imposing and stunning in equal measures – and is in the centre of the room.
