This long hallway is packed with marble statues lining both sides—some standing, some on pedestals. The ceiling has a fancy, patterned design with arches and a skylight letting in light. In the middle, a big stone urn sits on a pedestal, and the floor is made of polished stone slabs. The statues look like ancient Roman figures, and the room feels grand but quiet. The light from the skylight makes the carvings stand out. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this photo lives.
