VII Practice reading the dialogue with your partner:

- What do you think I ought to see first in Lviv?

- The sculptures of Greco-Roman art. They are exhibited in the Lviv Picture Gallery.

- I’d like to see these sculptures. In fact, the Greek torso is provided with the Roman head. Several emperors were known to have done that, installing their portrait heads on the bodies of the Greek or Roman gods.

- But, do you know that pieces of ancient Greek or Roman sculptures were discovered on the façade of the palace that used to belong to Count Lianskoronsky? These sculptures combine the Greek-made torsos and Roman-made heads, and dated from the second century BC- second century AD. They were incorporated into the façade of this palace and now they are exhibited in the Lviv Picture Gallery.
