Museo nazionale romano di palazzo Altemps

The palazzo houses a collection of Greek and Roman sculptures across multiple floors, with rooms decorated in original Renaissance frescoes.

Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps acquired the fifteenth-century palace in 1568 and transformed it into a residence for his extensive collection of antiquities.

The museum displays the Boncompagni Ludovisi collection, which includes the fifth-century BC Ludovisi Throne and numerous classical marble sculptures.

Located at Piazza Sant'Apollinare 46, the museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 19:45 with wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.

The museum contains the private Church of Sant'Aniceto, where poet Gabriele d'Annunzio married in 1883 during the building's noble residence period.
