Traveler reviews
Luke Hemmings
β β β β β a month agoImpressive collection of marble sculptures and other artifacts, including mosaics and grave goods, lovingly displayed in this old power station building. The discord between the ancient and the industrial works brilliantly and the space is perfectly suited to display the many statues alongside informative descriptions. Well worth the entry price and in a lovely, less visited part of Rome.
Nick thePhotograph
β β β β β 4 months agoa beautiful Museum that crosses ancient Greece and Rome with vintage factory. It was, like I mentioned, an old factory. Part of the Musei Capitolini Is exposed here, with the rests of the old factory. You should totally visit! I loved the statues of Apollo. You will find a couple statues of Antinous and one statue of Icarus too!
