Overview

The Capitolini Museum, also known as The Roman Empire Museum, was established when Pope Sixtus IV donated his collection of statues to the people of Rome in 1471.

It was opened to the public by Pope Clementine XII in 1734, making it the world’s first museum. Located on one of the city’s seven hills, it has incredible views of the Ancient Roman Forum - be sure to visit the Tabularium Gallery to check it out.

Before visiting the museum you’ll be welcomed by your host and watch a 20-minute multimedia video, giving you an insight into the history of Rome. Then, your host will take you to the museum where you can explore at your leisure.

Great value versus buying tickets separately. Highlights matched what was advertised, worth blocking a half-day for.

A calm experience even on a crowded day. Transitions between rooms or stops felt purposeful, and we felt we got our money’s worth.

More impressive in person than the photos. Seating/rest spots helped older travelers in our group, — glad we prioritized it.

The pace worked well with kids. (Kid-friendly pacing without feeling rushed, matching what friends told us—but better in person.)
