Centrale Montemartini, Industry museum in Ostiense district, Rome, Italy
The Centrale Montemartini displays Roman sculptures and artifacts alongside preserved industrial machinery in a former power plant from the twentieth century.
The thermoelectric power station, constructed in the early 1900s, transformed into a museum in 1997 to house parts of the Capitoline Museums collection.
The permanent exhibition includes numerous marble statues of Roman deities, such as Fortuna, Polimnia, Marsia, and Minerva, showcasing ancient Roman mythology.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 19:00, with access included in the MIC Card offering unlimited visits to Rome municipal museums.
Natural light enters through large industrial windows, illuminating classical marble sculptures positioned between turbines, diesel engines, and steam boilers.
