One of the four sites of the National Roman Museum, this nineteenth-century palace near Termini station holds an outstanding collection of ancient art. Its highlight is a series of exquisitely preserved Roman wall paintings and stucco, including the garden frescoes from the villa of Livia, wife of Augustus, reassembled in a darkened room. Galleries display renowned sculptures such as the Boxer at Rest and the Discobolus, along with mosaics, coins, and jewellery.
