Musei Villa Torlonia

The Museum System of Roma Capitale consists of an extremely diverse set of museum venues and archaeological sites of undoubted artistic and historical value. Along with the Capitoline Museums, the world's oldest public museum, the Ara Pacis Museum, designed by Richard Meier and home to major exhibitions, as well as the Mercati di Traiano and the Museo di Roma at Palazzo Braschi are part of the System. The System is also enriched by a number of "hidden treasures," small museums with valuable collections such as the Napoleonic Museum, the Giovanni Barracco Museum of Ancient Sculpture, the Carlo Bilotti Museum, the Pietro Canonica Museum, the Museum of the Walls, and others, all to be discovered. Events and temporary exhibitions contribute to making the Sistema Musei Civici unique compared to other Italian museums, with an offer of initiatives that are always new and aimed at all types of audiences.
