Totally disorganized with Tourstation having us scheduled for the wrong date and no one to assist you. Entered museum with help of security, folks save your money buy your tickets at museum for 4.50E per person vs, $78.00 paid to La Vacanza Travel.

One of the best sites we saw in Rome this is totally worth the money to skip the line. Be in the look out for the ticket procurer and tour guide they can sometimes be hidden and it can be confusing.

Easy entry. Museum staff was very helpful with directions. The art collection is fabulous. The cafeteria had tasty panini and the staff moved quickly. Don’t forget to see the view from the restaurant terrace. It was a great day!!

Excellent museum with so many iconic exhibitions. Well presented.Magnificent views from roof top terrace. Nice reasonably priced cafe . High point for me was seeing the state of Romulus and Remus and being so close.

This is a great stop for after you have visited the Forum. It is located on the top of the Capitoline Hill, overlooking the Forum. You can access this via a back road or going further around to the front. Either way, you'll be climbing a lot of stairs. You come out into a plaza bounded by buildings on 3 sides. In the center is a replica of the large equestrian statue featuring Marcus Aurelius (the original of which is inside the museum). I think the buildings, like some other museums in Rome, was the former residence of some cardinal or official. You enter via the building on your right as you face the plaza. This was not covered by the city pass we'd bought, so we paid the ~ 15 Euros each. We then had to do a bag security scan followed by checking our backpack at a locker station. Just beyond security, there is an open air plaza featuring sculptures, predominantly pieces of a monumental sculpture of Constantine. They have his head, hands, and at least one foot. You may have seen images of some of these before - I recognized them. The museum is extensive, but you can cover most of it in 2 hours. There is a section with glitzy Baroque rooms and others with more medieval artwork. We wandered through those quickly. The main draws (for us) were the sculptures. One large central room has the original equestrian statue mentioned earlier, the famous she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus (the symbol of Rome), a boy pulling a thorn from his foot (you'll see this one in multiple museums), etc. They also had exhibits showing the foundation of a massive temple (to Saturn, I think) that was left intact. At the far end, they showed how early hut-settlements on the hills merged over time to form Rome. I'm sure I'm leaving out some things, but after several days of successive art / antiquity museums, it's hard to keep them all straight... There is a café on the top level with an outdoor plaza, but its placement doesn't offer a lot of views of the city (it is on the wrong side for that). Otherwise it seemed nice. There is a basement passageway that connects the 2 main wings. From this, you can access the Tabularium, which is sort of balcony area from which there are great views overlooking the Forum. Our final stop was the other wing (on the left as you face the entrance plaza). It has a lot of busts of emperors as well as the Dying Gaul statue. I would classify this museum as a must-see on a Rome itinerary.
