The exhibition path
A panel illustrates the exhibition path of the museum, in which we find works of ancient art that come from two fruitful seasons in the history of Roman archaeology, the excavations made during the important urban transformations of Rome Capital at the end of the 19th century and the twenty years of Fascism, in the 1930s.
