The 10 Best Museums in Campo Marzio, Lazio
Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

Found the shop fairly easily, down a side street in a nice part of town. I wanted an individual souvenir and the very friendly owner made us a small marble sign saying “the house of the dogs” in Italian within the hour for 15 euro and we are very pleased with it!
4. Museo dell'Ara Pacis

The ceremonial dedication of the Altar of Peace, took place on the 30th January in the year 9 B.C. It seems, according to the evidence provided by the historian Cassius Dione (LIV, 25.3), that at first the Senate had planned to build an altar within their own building, the Curia, but the idea was not followed through and the northernmost part of the Field of Mars, which had recently been urbanized, was chosen instead. The altar dedicated to peace came, therefore, and not by chance, to be built in the middle of a vast plain, on which, traditionally, the man oeuvres of the infantry and the cavalry took place, and, in more recent times, the gymnastic exercises of the Roman youth.

Ara Pacis means Altar of Peace, this museum is honoured with the tomb of emperor Augustus in white gleaming marble walls,discovered eight meters under grounds in a park; It is a massive Mausoleum of Augustus, the bural place of the emperor and his family is in this park, a peaceful ring of cypresses and paths; the museo of Ara Pacis is now enclosed in a large purpose-built structure Lungotevere, designed by an architect of New York, Richard Meier. The Altar was built in 13 BC for a victory over Spain of Augustus. Superb Roman sculptures around , depicting the imperial family, Augustus and his wife Livia, and Marcus Agrippa. Very nice visit, there is an entrance to pay, but to recommend.

While this could be a dangerous mix of French arrogance and poor Italian service, the combination works here! The building is well looked after and the gardens are amazing. You have to do a tour with set times, but the cost covers the temporary exhibition as well. The tour took an hour and a half and was really well run, taking you to well preserved rooms, some amazing frescoes in the Cardinal’s hidey hole and giving an excellent and informed view of the place. Well worth it, and on a really busy sunny Sunday (albeit in March) was quiet and peaceful. Having said the combination works - the service in the cafe was appalling and arrogant!! But a small downside for an otherwise good visit.

In the very rooms where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) stayed with painter Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein (1786-1788) and other German artists on his journey to Italy, the Casa di Goethe – Germany’s only museum abroad – has been opened in 1997.
