The storeroom at The Victoria and Alberta, London

 
We went to Rome and Florence to see the originals of these. The storeroom is full of copies of great works from around the world. The British went out and either made models or copies so they could be displayed in either the British Museum or one of the others. Note Michelangelo's David at the center rear. It actually stands alone in the Academia in Florence, Italy. This is only a small part of the storeroom.
 
Here are some of the famous tombs copied and catalogued.
