Museum of Roman Civilization
Museum of Roman Civilization, History museum in EUR district, Rome, Italy
The Museum of Roman Civilization is a history museum in the EUR district dedicated to ancient Roman society. The exhibitions use scale models, plaster casts, and reconstructions to convey what the ancient city and the lives of its inhabitants looked like.
The building was designed in 1939 by Fiat for a planned world's fair that never took place due to World War II. The museum later opened and now holds extensive collections documenting Rome's development from its earliest times through the late antique period.
The museum presents Roman life through reconstructions and scale models that reflect daily activities and building practices of that era. Visitors can observe how Romans lived, worked, and shaped their urban spaces.
The museum is housed in an accessible building with ramps at all entrances and elevators serving all floors. Plan to spend several hours exploring the large exhibition spaces, especially if you want to look closely at the details.
The museum houses an intricate scale model of ancient Rome that shows how the metropolis appeared at its height. Alongside it are original plaster casts of relief scenes from Trajan's Column, depicting Roman military campaigns.
