Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best History Museums
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.

An emotional multimedial experience through the history of Rome. Welcome to Rome is a new multimedial space where you can live a unique experience: to dive into 2700 years of history of the Eternal City. Spectacular video projections on the walls, ceiling and floor accompanied by a narrative voice. A great plastic that lives up to the evolution of the city over time. Holograms, projections and interactive exhibits that tell the story of important monuments. A cinema with a 4D video, together with 4 exhibitions will make you live an amazing and immersive experience through the history of one of the most beautiful city in the world. This space represents the first ideal stop for all the turists but also a special place for the Roman people where to live the past of their city and know many curiosities.

Came here during a rainy day which we didn’t really have anything planned to do anyway just wanted to escape the rain more than anything else. It’s a really nice and well organized place where you can see 4 small 3-5 minute 3D videos on Rome’s history and then you go to the main theater where you can watch the main show. I left this review very limited because I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone. But if you have 30 minutes to burn and will be in central Rome I highly recommend this place.

The 16th-century museum of paintings and sculptures houses exhibits from important Roman families, including the magnificent Ludovisi throne depicting the Birth of Venus.

When in Piazza Navona, just across the street of the north end of the square, and the fifteenth century Museo Altemps await's with statues of Hermes, renderings of Apollo, the Lyrist and Athena; many paintings of bucolic scenes of ancient Rome, a colossal head of Hera, many works of Goethe, this was very interesting and moving; after this visit you will feel you a little bit tired, but you will visit it next time again.

Stunning palace located in a central location. Full of galleries of gorgeous paintings. Make sure to ask for the audio guide to get the full experience.
Reviewed By PattiGB - Brisbane Region, Australia
One of my favourite destinations when visiting Rome. The villa is full of magnificent art and sculptures. The complimentary audio guide is a very personalized glimpse into the world of one of Rome’s most important aristocratic families, their colorful lives, and their sense of duty to maintain their rich history for all. The audio guide is narrated by Prince Jonathan Doria-Pamphilj who shares personal memories, stories of his ancestors, and details about various works of art including famous works by Caravaggio. It is one of the very few Italian palaces which have their original art collections still in tact.

6. Gladiator Museum
Overall Ratings
3.0 based on 83 reviews
The exposition represents an itinerary through history going from the VII century B.C. to the IV century A.D. brought to life through the accurate reconstruction of helmets and armour of the Roman legions and gladiators, showing over a millenium of history through the most representative weaponry of Roman army and its enemies. Set on two floors, in the basement there is the chance to see and touch the autentique columns of the ancient Stadium of Domitian and to take photos into the gladiators’ prison.

Found this place by chance, absolutely brilliant. It's small but has loads in it and you can take as long as you want to examine the old armour and weapons, and the staff are friendly, informative, and very helpful. Really enjoyed the time spent there and would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in anything to do with gladiators :) I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm in Rome
