The museum housed in the buildings around piazza del Campidoglio, all designed by Michelangelo, is the oldest public art collection in the world.

​It contains some of the most symbolical pieces of Roman art, such the Etruscan bronze She Wolf, the Brutus, the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, the Esquiline Venus, the dying Galata and many more.

The painting collection includes works by Giovanni Bellini, Caravaggio, Rubens, Titian.
From the Tabularium there is a splendid view over the Roman Forum.
A must see museum.

 
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.

One of the finest collection of antiquities in Rome.

Ancient statue of extraordinary value as the Prima Porta Augustus, the bronze Boxer, the disco trower. In the second floor it display ancient roman frescoes detached from imperial villas dating to two thousand years ago and a rich collection of roman mosaics.

In the basement is kept the collection of coins form the roman time onward. Combo ticket allows the visit of Diocletian’s bath archeological museum, located across the street

Created within the remains of the imposing Diocletian’s baths. It focus on primitive settlements in Rome’s region. Interesting section is dedicated to epigraphy and ancient daily life. Within the museum can be admired the splendid cloister projected by Michelangelo.
The spaces of Diocletian’s baths are visible too: the halls and the ‘natatio’ –swimming pool. In the hall 10 are kept 3 perfectly preserved toms from the roman times

Archeological collections witnessing the taste and love of antiquities of Rome’s aristocratic families. The museum is housed in an aristocratic renaissance palace

 
Created within one of the most beautiful Renaissance villas, it hosts the collection of Etruscan works of art witnessing the complexity and skills of the Etruscan civilization flourishing in V century BC in the area north of Rome. 

The most didactic museum about ancient Rome with reproductions and casts illustrating the history of Rome from the beginning of the Roman times until the 6th century. Here are the casts of all relifs of Trajan column.
Noteworthy is the plastic of ancient Rome, which gives an idea of what Rome looked like

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.

A museum particularly dedicated to early middle age times and the transformations occurred in Rome after the fall of the roman empire. The underground remain of Balbo theater are very interesting too.

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.
