Description

The New Wing, Braccio Nuovo build.
The Braccio Nuovo is one of the most highly regarded and visited galleries within the Vatican Museums.
The creation of a new section of the museum to house numerous acquisitions of classical sculpture was advocated by Antonio Canova (1757-1822), Inspector General of the Antiquities in the Holy See, following the return of many works of art that had been taken to France under the Treaty of Tolentino (1797). To meet this need, the Braccio Nuovo, a masterpiece of neoclassical architecture, was built by Raffaele Stern (1774-1820) during the Pontificate of Pius VII and opened to the public in 1822.
The 68 metre long gallery contains 28 large niches, each containing a statue, while between each niche are displayed busts which principally portray men and women who were notable public figures in the ancient world.
