Palermo
Although never a Greek colony, Palermo became a repository for many Greek archaeological finds discovered in western Sicily. Founded at the beginning of the 19th century, the Regional Archaeological Museum "A. Salinas" of Palermo acquired one of the most important collections of Western Greek architectural sculpture known. The museum's holdings include famous metopes that decorated the temple friezes of Selinus in southwest Sicily (see cat. nos. 78 and 79) and Greek vases excavated in the ancient cemeteries of Agrigento (see cat. no. 80 and 81).
