Museo Nazionale Romano – Crypta Balbi (Roman National Museum – Crypta Balbi). When it was opened 9 years ago, this museum created a sensation since it approached the life of the ancient Romans from a somewhat different angle, compared to ordinary museums. In a historical and social sequence, it gives a true-to-life illustration of living habits and conditions of Roman families during the Imperial period and the Middle Ages. A section is also dedicated to commercial and manufacturing activities.
Musei Capitolini (Capitoline Museums). Museums are often especially made to house ancient works of art, but when they are centuries old themselves there is obviously additional charm for visitors to relish. This is the case with the Capitoline Museums, located on top of the Capitoline Hill in Rome. The art collections of ancient statues, jewels, coins and Roman remains are as impressive as the unique view of the city that you can enjoy from the Capitoline Hill, which is literally in the centre of Rome.
