Delve into the fascinating history of the Roman Empire at the Musei Capitolini (Capitoline Museums). Considered the world’s first museum, the attraction boasts the famous she-wolf sculpture featuring Rome's founders Romulus and Remus, and a treasure chest of items telling the story of Rome, the ancient Caput Mundi.
The experience starts with a 25-minute multimedia video on ancient Roman times covering iconic monuments like the Colosseum and Underground, Pantheon, Circus Maximum and the Vatican area. The video is ideal to watch before taking the tour as one can appreciate the splendor of how the ruins were in Ancient Roman Times.
In 1734 Pope Clementine XII decided to make a significant collection of artwork and ancient sculptures permanently accessible to the people of Rome. With this magnanimous act, he created the world's first museum on top of one of the Seven Hills of Rome, overlooking the Ancient Roman Forum.
