Museo dell'Ara Pacis, Ancient Roman art museum near Tiber River, Rome, Italy.
The museum houses the Ara Pacis, a marble altar enclosed in a modern structure of glass, steel, and travertine designed by Richard Meier.
The Roman Senate commissioned the Ara Pacis in 13 BC as a monument to celebrate Emperor Augustus's successful military campaigns in Hispania and Gaul.
The marble reliefs on the altar display intricate scenes of Roman life, including a procession of the imperial family and mythological figures.
The museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM, with adult admission tickets priced at 10.50 euros and mandatory temperature checks at entry.
The altar remained buried under river sediment for centuries until its rediscovery, leading to its careful reconstruction at its current location.
