    It is quiet. It is rare to find a place in Rome where there are no people and you can see artifacts so leisurely. It was nice to see many ancient Roman statues, tiles, and furniture. It seems really nice for tourists using Rome Station to stop by while passing by. Not super much and huge things in here but I truly recommend this place. Take your time and being relaxed I hope everyone has a wonderful trip.

    Great collection of artifacts with a lot of explanations regarding the background, origin and meaning in Italian and English language. You can understand ancient roman history under the different emperors. Bring some time, you can easily spend a few hours there. The coin collection alone takes an hour if your into that. If you get the ticket for 15 Euro you can also visit 3 other sites/exhibitions. I went on a weekday and there weren't many people and no waiting time to get in. If you've seen the other famous sites in Rome and you are into history I highly recommend this place.
