Polo Museale del Lazio, Museum network headquarters at Palazzo Venezia in Rome, Italy.
Polo Museale del Lazio is a network organization based at Palazzo Venezia in Rome that manages 43 cultural institutions across the Lazio region. The collection includes museums, archaeological sites, and religious buildings with works spanning from ancient times to the contemporary period.
The system was founded in 2014 and became fully operational in March 2015 to centralize the management of cultural institutions in the region. This restructuring enabled better coordination between the many historical sites and museums across Lazio.
The network manages major sites like the Pantheon and Villa d'Este, which today draw visitors from around the world. These places shape the cultural life of the region and display different periods of Italian history.
The individual sites are spread across the region, so planning which institutions to visit is worthwhile. Many are located in Rome itself, while others are archaeological sites and villas accessible in the surrounding area.
The network supports private investment in cultural heritage preservation through a special tax incentive program. This has allowed individuals and businesses to actively contribute to protecting these sites.
