A Guide to Musei Capitolini, Rome


This month we went to visit Musei Capitolini at Piazza del Campidoglio. I've wanted to go to this museum for a while now and so I'm super happy to finally have gotten around to it. It did not disappoint. 

Warning! Wear comfortable shoes. This place is huge! 

The Musei Capitolini dates from 1471, when Pop Sixtus IV donated to the People of Rome a group of bronze statues. Successive popes enlarged the collection with works found during excavations in and around Rome. There are also some that have been transferred from the Vatican and others that have been specifically purchased for this museum. 

The museums collections are displayed in two of the three buildings that enclose Piazza del Campidoglio. These two buildings are linked by an underground tunnel.

Ancient sculptures, huge statues, paintings, coin and medal collections... not to mention the amazing building itself with incredible views over the Roman Forum.
