Museo di Roma in Trastevere
Museo di Roma in Trastevere, Art museum in Trastevere district, Rome, Italy.
The Museo di Roma in Trastevere is housed in a former Carmelite monastery and displays paintings, photographs, and objects from different periods of the city's history. The rooms also hold personal documents and artworks that record how people lived in Rome across the centuries.
The museum was founded in 1977 with a focus on folklore and Roman dialect poetry. After renovation in 2000, it took its current name and shifted focus to documenting the broader story of urban life in Rome.
The displays show how Romans lived and used their city across different periods. You can see everyday objects, photographs, and scenes that reveal the habits and customs of people who shaped Rome over time.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and sits on Piazza Sant'Egidio in the heart of the Trastevere neighborhood. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, and galleries are spread across several levels of the former monastery building.
A special section features detailed watercolor paintings by Ettore Roesler Franz showing Rome in the 1800s, before modern changes reshaped the city. These works offer a visual record of what the streets and buildings looked like long ago.
