Tips for Visiting Nereid Monument#

The Nereid Monument's sculptured fragments are in the British Museum groupings-check the gallery labels for context about Lycia and early classical funerary architecture.
Look for the unusual combination of Ionic columns and heavily sculpted mythological panels-this hybrid architecture was aimed at projecting status.
Compare casts or drawings in the museum's reference books to get a sense of how the original tomb would have appeared in situ.
