The first public installation for electrical energy production converted into a museum dedicated to antiquities. it is  a striking contrast, but appealing.  Some art works on display are of excellent quality and refinement,  others are  extremely interesting from an historical point of view.

The Museum is housed inside the Porta S. Sebastian of the Aurelian walls and offers visitors an educational itinerary focused on this important defensive system created in the 3rd century by Emperor Aurelian, and constantly restored throughout the rest of Rome’s history.
The view from the gate’s towers is wonderful and it is possible to walk along the walkways of the soldiers too.

The collection gets its name from the Barone Giovanni Barracco, a passionate of antiquities, who bequeathed it to the city of Rome in 1902.

Contains Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman sculpture, some dating from 1500 BC. Beneath the museum are remains of a Roman building and frescoes; however this area is currently closed due to repairs.

The museum is located in a wonderful palace located between Navona Square and piazza campo dei fiori. It is worth a visit to rest from the crowds while experiencing the spaces of this renaissance aristocratic palace deigned by Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane.

Established in 1967 with a varied collection ranging from the 4th to the 10th century. Includes jewelry, building fragments, ceramics, pieces of fabrics etc., Greeks and romans. It house 2 outstanding sections: the longboard gold items and the incredible imperial hall entirely decorated with marble inlays.
The jewels were found in tombs dating from the VI and VII centuries. are of an extraordinary quality that is hard to believe with the idea we have of the dark ages. There are so many gold items, a pleasure for the eyes!
My favorite is the entire room moved from the excavations of ancient Ostia  where possibly belonged to the imperial palace. The time is 4th century., It is the best-inlaid marble room  I have seen. Worth a visit.
