Daphné poursuivie par Apollon IIe siècle. Musée de Rouen. Mosaïque retrouvé à Lillebonne. Normandie
The Bardo Museum is one of the best places (in the world) to go view beautiful mosaics, because so many of the ancient pieces are housed there. The building itself is something of an art piece: it was once the Bardo Palace. Now, it is a go-to location for those interested in viewing mosaics.

***Mosaico de la bóveda del Mausoleo de Santa Constanza, Roma, s. IV. Los pájaros picoteando racimos o ramas con frutos aluden a la inmortalidad que se obtiene por el alimento eucarístico, igual que los putti vendimiadores.
Hugely excited to get the chance to see the mosaics at Sparta, Greece.
