Musei Capitolini and its collection

Musei Capitolini
Source

More than five centuries old, the Musei Capitolini, the Capitoline Museums (which is a single museum) was the oldest public museum in the world, composed of three main buildings (the Palazzo Senatorio, the Palazzo dei Conservatori, and the Palazzo Nuovo) surrounding the Piazza del Campidoglio and linked by an underground gallery. The museum's collection includes some of the most valuable artefacts and artworks in the history of Rome, as well as the history of Europe, including the bronze statue of the Capitoline she-wolf and paintings by Caravaggio.

    The Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy, is a significant cultural institution that houses an impressive collection of ancient Roman art and artifacts. Visitors often praise the museum's extensive exhibits, which include iconic pieces such as the Capitoline Wolf and the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. The museum's location on Capitoline Hill adds to its appeal, offering panoramic views of the Roman Forum.

    Many reviewers appreciate the well-organized displays and the opportunity to explore Rome's rich history through the museum's collections. The palazzo setting itself is considered a work of art, with its ornate interiors and grand architecture.

    However, some visitors mention that the museum can get crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons, which may affect the viewing experience. A few reviewers also note that the signage and explanations could be more comprehensive in some areas, particularly for those without a background in Roman history.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, the majority of visitors find the Musei Capitolini to be an enriching and worthwhile experience. The museum's blend of art, history, and architecture provides a comprehensive look into ancient Rome and the Renaissance period, making it a valuable stop for those interested in Italian culture and history.

    Erg mooi museum met een indrukwekkende collectie objecten uit het antieke Rome. Het oude gedeelte van het museum is gesitueerd in mooi gedecoreerde kamers. Hier is onder meer het beeld van Romulus en Remus te bewonderen. In het museum kun je daarna onder het plein doorlopen naar het andere gedeelte waarna je bij het uitzicht op het Forum Romanum uitkomt. Een echte aanrader dit, waar je erg lang fijn in kunt ronddwalen!
