One of the things I enjoy most is wandering through the Greek and Roman collection at the San Antonio Museum of Art. It's such a tranquil space, and I immediately feel at ease amongst these ancient statues. The details are the most striking to me: from the elegant folds of the drapery against the smooth marble skin to the swirls of hair on a portrait bust. It's a space filled with history and beauty and inspiration; a respite from the noise of everyday life.
