Today's #MythologyMonday is celebrating #InternationalMuseumDay with talk about mythological art in museums :)

One of my favorite museums in the world is the Villa Giulia in Rome. It houses the National Etruscan Museum. It falls outside most quick tour routes, and it is a lovely, peaceful, elegant museum with a very rich collection.

See the pretty vases below, with various mythological scenes :) Recongize them?
