These are shelves in the Florence Archaeological Museum filled with Votive figures from Etruscan and early Roman times. Votive figures are used during prayer to the Gods, and represent people-family, friends, etc.- that need prayer. These figures are shown in the movie "Gladiator" when the main character is separated from his family. This photo required very little editing.
Here is the link to this museum. There are also several real mummies in it, completey unrelated to this blog, but still awesome!
