Discover the World's Oldest Public Collection at the Historic Capitoline Museums in the Heart of Rome


The Capitoline Museums house the oldest public art collection in the world, offering an unparalleled journey through ancient statues and Renaissance masterpieces. The collection began with a generous gift from Pope Sixtus IV, who donated the famous Lateran bronzes to the city of Rome. This foundational donation included iconic pieces such as the She-Wolf, the Spinario, and the colossal head of Constantine, which have since become symbols of the city's rich historical and artistic heritage.


Our tour begins in the Palazzo Nuovo, a stunning venue where visitors can admire a vast array of ancient sculptures. Highlights include the poignant Dying Galata, the elegant Capitoline Venus, and the dynamic Dancing Faun. Beyond these famous statues, the museum displays an extensive collection of reliefs, mosaics, and bronzes spanning from the Hellenistic to the Roman period. The busts of ancient rulers provide a fascinating look at the faces that once governed the vast Roman Empire.


In addition to its ancient treasures, the Capitoline Museums feature an impressive selection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Guests can relax while exploring works by legendary artists such as Caravaggio, Tintoretto, Titian, and Rubens. The juxtaposition of ancient sculpture with these later masterpieces creates a unique dialogue between different eras of art history. Each room in the museum is filled with stories, techniques, and artistic expressions that have influenced the development of Western art for centuries.


Exploring the Capitoline Museums is an essential experience for anyone looking to understand the depth of Rome's cultural legacy. The combination of historical artifacts and fine art provides a comprehensive overview of the city's evolution. Whether you are a fan of ancient history or a lover of Renaissance painting, this museum offers something for everyone. Join us for a guided walk through these historic halls and discover the masterpieces that have defined the artistic landscape of Rome.
