Rome is an extraordinary museum city since
it has more than 50 different visual art museums and galleries. Some museums
also operate within the structure they represent, like the Catacombs. The
oldest art collection in Rome, housed in the Capitoline Museum was established
in 1471 and contains exceptional antiquities. Other Roman museums are the
National Museum of the Villa Giulia, which has an outstanding collection of
Etruscan and Roman art, and is located in the mid-sixteenth-century country
house of Pope Julius II (1443-1513).
The Borghese Gallery is a museum of paintings and sculpture and is housed
in an early 17 century palace. The National Roman Museum, designed by Michelangelo
(1475-1564) features exhibits of Greek and Roman sculpture, including the
Ludovisi collection of antiquities. Some important collections of art and
decorative pieces can also be seen in the city’s palaces. The Farnese Palace
was built between 1514 and 1589, Venetian Palace is a mid-fifteenth-century
place with a noted collection of small renaissance bronzes. The Palazzo Barberini
is a 17 century Baroque palace with a remarkable picture gallery.
Several archaeological museums within the city include Antiquarium Comunale,
