Reviews

"""Siapkas and Sjögren deserve credit for tackling such a variety of issues in relation to the presentation of Greek and Roman sculptures. Their thought-provoking work should inspire further study in this field, and will be of interest to anyone contemplating the role of ancient art and artifacts in museums."" - Jessica Powers, San Antonio Museum of Art ""...This book breaks new ground by including museum exhibits as an important element in the historiographyof ancient sculpture...The whole work remains a fascinating and wide-ranging consideration of the interplay between published scholarship and museum displays in the field of ancient sculpture, an important issue that deserves further attention."" - Kate Cooper, Royal Ontario Museum & University of Toronto"
