The Museums Page


	There is a lot of Art in Rome, and only a part of it is kept in the museums. Apart form visiting indoor musems, where you can see sculptures and paintings, your best bet is just to walk around Rome city centre, which I reckon must be one of the largest open-air musems in the world, and enjoy the wealth of monuments, statues, fountains, buldings and historical squares, which you often come across where you least expect it to happen ...	Just grab a map, a pair of comfortable shoes and explore for yourself ..... and, please, remember to take the camera with you because it would be such a shame to miss a photograph of that lovely alley leading into that tiny square with that beautiful fountain in the middle ..... wouldn't it?




	The museums listed below are grouped according to their location: Museums in the Rome metropolitan area Museums in the Vatican City Museums in the surrounding area (province of Rome) Within each group, the museums are arranged by category. (Anthropology, Archaeology, Art, Art and Archaeology, History, Natural History, Science and Technology, Specialized Museums)
