Tourists go straight to the Vatican and Capitoline museums , but this is where you get the best museum experience in Rome . It is probably my favourite museum in the city , and has been for 20 years . Astonishing array of artefacts , beautiful surroundings , and no crowds .

Palazzo Massimo is my absolute favorite museum in Rome. Liva's dining room and Julia's bedroom are stunning. The room of coins and jewelry is amazing. But the highlight for me was all the masterpieces in sculpture. This is a must see in Rome for everyone who visits.

This place is fabulous. I suppose it’s sad that it’s not more popular but that works out well for those of us who know about it. My wife and I wandered for hours and in most cases had entire rooms to to ourselves. A stunning collection in a building that should be on every history lovers list of places to see.

For me it is ! And it's my favorite one, because you can see the coins of the whole Roman Empire. On 2nd place I would set il museo capitolini, like the first important birth place of the city, the walls of the temple are inside, and 3rd is Villa Giulia, because of its vast Etruscan collection. A little treasure of all museums is museo Baracco with a small, but nice Egyptian collection of sculptures. I forgot to mention Palazzo Barberini Is interesting as well.

Let's not forget that the halls of the Diocletian baths just opposite are part of the national museum and can be visited with the same ticket. One can say there are no not exceptional museums in Rome, but this National museum (by the state of Italy), the Vatican museum (by the church) and the Capitoline museum (by the city of Rome) form an amazing trinity of museums, in global scope. On a short visit, one should visit one of them. Vatican museum originated back in the time when the pope was souvereign and landlord of Rome, when all excavations fell into his property - this was over with the unification of Italy when he lost his legal powers, and the state and the city took over.

I went there in January 2020 and I was mesmerized during my optical confrontation of the 2 discobolus. Don't ask me which one, I don't remember, but one of the 2 was much more superior in the execution. That means the artists that made them were 2 different people, and the executioner of the best one still shows us that he better understood the model. Still wondering if they have seen Mirone's original. Confronting 2 very similar sculptures was not an unique experience for me: it happened in the Cairo Museum admiring Menkaura's Thriads and in the Luxor Museum watching 2 almost identical Goddesses, the ones coming from the 1989 cachette, and - maybe I m just deranged - by I remember one much more radiant than the other. At the time of my visit, I've considered the light factor, since the sculptures are positioned in front of each other, mirroring one to the other ( I m talking about 2009, maybe things have changed). But I remember that the light wasn't the factor: even if they both were copies of a model, and they were truly similar, really, it was apparent to me that they were made by two different sculptors and one was more gifted than the other. That was my simple conclusion. PS: Fantastic Museum! isn't it? When there I was almost alone and I really enjoyed the 5 hours spent inside it. Of course, I couldn't make my cumulative ticket useful: Palazzo Massimo's collection was already too much for me, and I must admit that even the Neo-renaissance architecture of the structure is worth attention and study!

Went through the back of the Vatican as it is always easier to get into instead of the front of it. There is so many parts of the Museums that after two hours, I was so exhausted that I left. Unfortunately, the front is where the Grand Church is located. There are many Museums there with individual sections for Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Medieval, Renaissance and Modern Art. Medieval Art is not that interesting and the Modern paintings are not interesting either. You need to get online tickets to the Vatican gives you the exact time and date your tickets allows you to enter. In NYC, I went to the Metropolitan Museum with Roman, Greek and Egyptian Art and statutes. The Tourist Guide said that the Ancient Romans would mass produce replicas of Greek statutes and that many of the surviving pieces are really Roman reproductions. I saw surviving Greek helmets and armor, and I swear that they could only fit someone who is 5 foot, one inch tall.
