'The Etruscans' Opens Saturday at the San Antonio Museum of Art: Nearly 200 Objects From Ancient Italy
The fall exhibition 'The Etruscans: From the Heart of Ancient Italy' opens Saturday, October 31 at the San Antonio Museum of Art, with almost 200 objects — ceramics, jewelry and sculpture, some loaned by museums in Italy.
San Antonio's Halloween weekend has an ancient option. 'The Etruscans: From the Heart of Ancient Italy' opens Saturday, October 31 at the San Antonio Museum of Art, 200 W. Jones Ave., according to San Antonio Magazine's Halloween-weekend guide, read this cycle. The fall exhibit focuses on the civilization of central Italy that profoundly influenced the people of early Rome — among other things, the guide notes, the Etruscans invented the toga.
The exhibition features almost 200 objects, including ceramics, jewelry and sculpture, some of them loaned by museums in Italy, the guide reported. It joins a crowded final weekend of the season: the Jardín de las Catrinas at the San Antonio Botanical Garden runs through November 2, and Día de los Muertos observances continue across the city through Monday.
The museum opening gives the weekend a daytime, indoor anchor between Saturday's Halloween events and Sunday's Día de los Muertos celebrations. The desk carries only what the guide states — opening date, venue, address, object count and the loan note — and no run dates beyond the opening were published in the source, so none are claimed here.
