Palazzo Massimo alle Terme in Rome
About
In the heart of Rome, near the bustling Termini station, lies the Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Massimo alle Terme. Designed by Camillo Pistrucci in the Renaissance Revival style, this treasure trove of ancient Roman art and culture opened its doors in 1998. Visitors are treated to a vast collection of classical sculptures, vivid frescoes, intricate mosaics, and exquisite artifacts such as the resting boxer, the Discobolus, and the ivory mask.
Highlights include the meticulously restored rooms on the second floor, which replicate the original dimensions and ceilings of a Roman villa, and the rare bronze statues scattered throughout the museum. A notable feature, currently undergoing restoration, is the -2 floor, famous for its comprehensive display on Italian coinage history and the Grottarossa child mummy.
Perfect for families and history enthusiasts alike, the museum offers guided tours to enrich the experience and connect stories to visuals. Easy to reach and well-connected, it's a must-visit for anyone eager to immerse themselves in the ancient wonders of Rome.
