These urns were not made for storage, but placed on burials as grave-markers. They are quite solid.
#Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek was founded by the brewer Carl Jacobsen, a man who had a vivid interest in contemporary Danish and French art - and ancient art too. He had a great collection which he, and his wife Ottilia donated to the public, in two deeds in 1888 and 1889. The collection seen today still reflects these intentions.
The museum contains over 10 000 objects of art - ancient and somewhat more modern.
The museum today consists of four buildings - the oldest being the Dahlerup building, named after its architect Vilhelm Dahlerup, who was the master behind what is still the main entrance to the museum. His complex was symmetrical with three wings, around an open court-yard. He was very influenced by earlier eras, and for example the façade is in a style which should be called Italian Renaissance - though 400 years too late. His interior was in turn influenced by both roccoco, and the Imperial Rome. This was inaugurated in 1897.
The second building was made by Hack Kampmann, and fittingly called the Kampmann building. Kampmann was a classicist, and his creation differed greatly from the other. But the second building was built to fit with the already existing one, forming a closed courtyard in the middle, which was covered with glass and would form one of the most famous sights of the place, the Winter Garden. This was opened to the public in 1906.
In 1996 the latest addition to the museum was opened to the public, the Henning Larsens building, by the architect of the same name.

Dating to the late medieval period.
The abbey of Stavelot was founded in about 650 and the town grew up around it. But it fared very ill during the French Revolution and the Romanesque church was almost completely destroyed (apart from the west end doorway). The cloister buildings, in roccoco style did survive though and now houses a museum.

Constructed by I S Mincks and opened as a hotel in 1928, Alfred C ("Frenchy") Fabry's design for this building has the most ornate glazed rococo terracotta Art Deco Zig Zag facade in Tulsa.
Closed during the Great Depression the hotel later opened as the Adams Hotel, but with the script letter "M" on the front entrance awning as can be seen above. The pastel coloring on the terracotta has faded significantly but the red and blue hues can still be seen.
The building is on the US National Register of Historic Places.

This lion is probably from a grave. In any case it can be dated to 600-550 B.C., and is from Corinth. It is painted, but some areas are left unpainted, to make a negative pattern (particularly notable on the nose).

Palazzo Biscari is a private palace in Catania, Sicily, southern Italy.
It was built by will of the Paternò Castello family, the princes of Biscari, starting from the late 17th century, lasting for much of the following century, after the devastations of the 11 January 1693 earthquake. The new palace was built directly against the city walls (Charles V's walls), which had partially withstood the earthquake.The oldest section was built under Ignazio, third prince of Biscari, who entrusted the project to architect Alonzo Di Benedetto. Ignazio's son, Vincenzo, commissioned the decoration of the seven large windows facing the seaside, by the Messinese sculptor Antonino Amato. Later the palace was modified under the fourth Prince, Ignazio Paternò Castello, who had it enlarged eastwards under design by Giuseppe Palazzotto and, later, by Francesco Battaglia. The building was finished in 1763 and inaugurated with big celebrations.The palace is accessed through a large portal facing via Museo Biscari, leading to the inner courtyard, which features a large double staircase. In the interior is the "Feasts Hall", in Roccoco style, with a complex decoration of mirrors, stuccoes and frescoes painted by Matteo Desiderato and Sebastiano Lo Monaco. The small dome, destined to the orchestra, has a frescoe depicting the glories of the Paternò Castello di Biscari family. It is accessed through a staircase decorated in stucco within the gallery facing the sea.Among the other rooms are the "Fief Room", featuring large canvasses of the Biscari feudataries; the "Princess Apartments", built by Ignazio V of Biscari for his wife, with pavements of ancient Roman marbles; the "Birds Gallery" and the "Don Quixote Room". There is also a museum, once housing the collection of Ignazio V, most of the material of which is now in the Castello Ursino in Catania.

Il nuovo palazzo venne edificato sulle mura di Catania, costruite per volere dell'imperatore Carlo V nel Cinquecento e che avevano in parte resistito alla furia del terremoto: i Biscari furono una delle poche famiglie aristocratiche della città che ottenne il permesso regio di costruire su di esse.La parte più antica del palazzo fu costruita per volere di Ignazio, terzo principe di Biscari, che affidò il progetto all'architetto Alonzo Di Benedetto, ma fu il figlio di Ignazio, Vincenzo, succeduto al padre nel 1699, a commissionare la decorazione dei sette splendidi finestroni affacciati sulla marina, opera dello scultore messinese Antonino Amato. Successivamente il palazzo fu modificato per volere di Ignazio Paternò Castello, quinto principe di Biscari, il quale lo fece ampliare verso est su progetto di Giuseppe Palazzotto e, successivamente, di Francesco Battaglia. L'edificio venne infine ultimato nel 1763 ed inaugurato con grandiosi festeggiamenti.Al palazzo si accede attraverso un grande portale su via Museo Biscari, che immette nel cortile centrale, adorno di una grande scala a tenaglia. All'interno, si trova il "salone delle feste", di stile rococò dalla complessa decorazione fatta di specchi stucchi e affreschi dipinti da Matteo Desiderato e Sebastiano Lo Monaco. Il cupolino centrale era usato come alloggiamento dell'orchestra, ed è coperto da un affresco raffigurante la gloria della famiglia Paternò Castello di Biscari. Si accede alla cupola attraverso una scala decorata a stucco (che il principe Ignazio chiamò "a fiocco di nuvola") all'interno della grande galleria affacciata sulla marina. Tra le altre sale vanno ricordate quella "dei Feudi", con alle pareti grandi tele rappresentanti i numerosi feudi dei Biscari; gli "appartamenti della principessa", costruiti da Ignazio V per la moglie, Anna Morso e Bonanno dei principi del PoggioReale, con boiseries di legni intarsiati e pavimenti di marmo di epoca romana; la "galleria degli Uccelli" e la "stanza di Don Chisciotte". Infine particolare importanza riveste il Museo, dove un tempo era raccolta la grande collezione archeologica (oggi in parte al Museo civico del Castello Ursino) di Ignazio V, grande studioso, archeologo e amante delle arti in genere.Tra i celebri visitatori del palazzo si ricorda soprattutto lo scrittore Johann Wolfgang Goethe che, nel corso del suo viaggio in Italia, venne ricevuto dal principe di Biscari il 3 maggio 1787, poco dopo la morte del padre Ignazio.
