Museo delle Civiltà, History museum in EUR district, Rome, Italy.
The Museo delle Civiltà occupies two rationalist buildings at Piazza Guglielmo Marconi and displays collections from prehistoric times, Africa, the Americas, Asia, Oceania, and folk arts. The galleries also feature medieval artifacts and objects from the colonial period.
The museum was founded in 2016 by combining collections from four separate Italian national museums into a single institution. This merger created one of Europe's major centers for non-European cultures.
The museum displays objects from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania that show how different cultures developed their own artistic traditions and crafts. You can see everyday items and art forms that reveal how people lived and worked across these regions.
The museum is located near EUR Fermi metro station and is easily accessible by public transport. The exhibitions spread across multiple floors, so plan for a full visit to see the different sections.
The buildings were originally designed in 1942 for a world fair that never happened because of World War II. Today they stand as examples of architecture from that era.
