Museum Palazzo Massimo alle Terme
Museum Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, Archaeological museum in central Rome, Italy
The Palazzo Massimo Museum displays Roman sculptures, frescoes, and mosaics across four floors in a 19th-century Neo-Renaissance building near Termini Station.
The palace, constructed between 1883 and 1887 as a Jesuit school, transformed into a museum in 1995 after extensive renovations by architect Costantino Dardi.
The second floor exhibits complete room decorations from ancient Roman villas, including garden frescoes from the Villa of Livia and the Villa della Farnesina.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available in multiple languages and a specialized numismatic section in the basement level.
The collection includes the Grottarossa Mummy, the only preserved Roman-era mummy ever discovered, found in a sarcophagus along the Via Cassia.
