Palermo Museum: Introduction

The entrance to the museum was like a green courtyard with palm trees and a fountain. The eagle statue on the wall represents the city and its power.

Okay everybody, before my blog starts getting too heavy, let's start off with some turtles that we found in a fountain in front of the museum. ;)

Outside, we had seen the statue of a nymph playing the aulos (double flute) while riding on  a lion ... not the worst hobby to choose if you ask me. Do you agree?

As a small spoiler, this text below shows how much the ancient world was infested with gods; natural powers and special events were explained in myths. However, Zeus as the supreme god was seen to be the strongest.

In my next post, we will enter the museum and see the artifacts ... stay tuned!
