    Do maps, scale models, or the Roman Empire set your heart a-flutter? If so, do take the time to…read moreventure out to EUR (it's about a mile's walk from the Metro) and spend two hours here in awe of the absolute architectural, engineering, and historical treasures on display. I am hard pressed to think of a museum that rivals this place, the Museum of Roman Civilization, in this niche. Plus there's like nobody here. I bet you could make out in the corner under the watchful eye of a 15-foot statue of Augustus Caesar and nobody would care.

    Nothing to write home about. We came here because the Borghese Gallery was overbooked and we could…read morenot get a reservation. Since we were already planning on visiting Ostia Antica that same day, we decided to visit this Museum on our way there (its off the same Metro Line B). My wife was disappointed that nearly ALL of the exhibits were replicas, basically plaster casts of the real statues & antiquities. However, the scale model of Ancient Rome was actually worth the price of admission. We spent about 20 minutes in the room, surveying the diorama which fills an entire gigantic room. the model is on a scale of 1:250. Also very informative, since the exhibits are arranged in somewhat of a chronological order of Roman History. Very educational, which is why the only visitors aside from my wife & me were a bunch of elementary and secondary school groups on Field Trips. I'm not sure about it being a make-out place though --there are surveillance video cameras in every room, LOL. Only recommended it you are (like me) an Archeology nut. Otherwise, don't go out of your way to this off-the-grid museum. On the Metro B Line, take the Laurentina train and exit at the EUR-Fermi Stazione.

    There are a million things to do when you are in Rome & going to a museum is probably the last…read morething on your list given all the alternative awesome sightseeing options! Hubby & I always try to do three things in a new city: museum, sports event & something on the water. We figured that visiting the Colosseum was a good enough version of a sports event. We were returning from a 12-day cruise. So, next up on the list was checking out a museum. Thankfully, we were at a hotel that was around the corner from the Museo Nazionale Romano. It is a series of buildings around the Piazza della Repubblica. And as it turns out, on the first Sunday of the month, the Museo is free to the public (note: you must "purchase" tickets online in advance for a specific time to enter). This Museo feels like stepping straight into the heart of ancient Rome. The collection is extraordinary - from the iconic Discus Thrower to hauntingly lifelike statues that practically make eye contact with you. The level of detail is unreal & half the time it feels like the sculptures are standing at your height just waiting to start a conversation! The galleries are spacious, beautifully laid out & surprisingly calm compared to the big-name tourist spots. It's the perfect place to take your time, wander & really soak in the artistry. Frescoes, mosaics, portraits - every floor has something jaw-dropping (including -1 and -2!). What truly blew my mind were the tile mosaics displayed & then shown in their original settings. Seeing them arranged exactly as they would have appeared in ancient villas gives you this incredible, immersive peek into everyday Roman life. It's like stepping right into history rather than just looking at it behind glass. If you're in Rome & want an unforgettable museum experience without the crowds, do not skip this one. Palazzo Massimo is a treasure chest of ancient beauty! Highly recommend.

    This is actually spread out over 2 (or more) buildings. These are diagonally across a large…read moreintersection from each other. Both are across streets from the Termini (train) Station. Also - our city pass purported to include this place for admission. However, when we arrived they said that there had been some change and it was not covered. We paid their fee anyway. Later, we got a reimbursement from the city pass company for this. We began our tour in the building to the right when you are facing the train station. It houses mostly statuary from the period from Julius Ceasar forward. They have busts of many of the emperors from the first couple of centuries of the empire (and their families, in some cases). There are other statues as well, plus things like a huge room's preserved wall paintings that were unearthed nearby. It is definitely heavy on busts, but I thought it was interesting. We then crossed the streets to the 2nd building, which is incorporated into the remains of a vast Roman baths complex. They had a variety of different exhibits here - about the baths, some more sculptures, an odd small shrine that was unearthed during a construction project (and which was preserved in a parking garage), details about pre-Roman villages in the area, etc. You could browse through and focus on a few areas of interest. There were also multiple courtyards to examine, each with its own statuary. This set of museums is probably best viewed after touring things like the Forum or Colosseum first. You then may have some basic context of where things happened, and can then start adding details about the major figures associated with the time period (and get some idea of what they looked like too). I enjoyed spending a morning here.
