Indeed, these bronzes are worth traveling to see--and the rest of the museum is faBULOUS TOO.

hey! I'm from Reggio Calabria, I just wanted to point out that "The Warriors" were not found in the 80s, but on August 16,1972, off the coast of Riace(a village on the Ionian coast,NOT in the Straits of Messina!) by Stefano Mariottini, and they are NOT 3°B.C.,but they are,supposedly,officially dated V B.C.!According to scholars, they probably represent Greek sculpture's climax, not even Michelangelo went as close!

p.s.: they are currently in the National Museum of Reggio Calabria!
