"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." -

"...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,
