National Roman Museum - Palazzo Massimo

The National Roman Museum in Palazzo Massimo exhibits an extensive collection of ancient Roman artifacts, statues, frescoes, mosaics, and archaeological findings across four floors.

The museum opened in 1889 during Italy's unification and moved to its current location in Palazzo Massimo in 1998 as part of a major reorganization.

The second floor displays the complete garden frescoes from the Villa of Livia, offering insights into Roman painting techniques and decorative preferences.

The museum sells combined tickets valid for three days that grant access to all four branches of the National Roman Museum network.

The basement contains the largest numismatic collection in Italy, featuring over 500,000 coins and medals from ancient Rome to modern times.
