One of Rome's finest and most underrated museums, housing extraordinary Roman sculptures, mosaics, and the breathtaking frescoed rooms from the Villa di Livia on the top floor. The coin and jewelry collections in the basement are world-class. Crowds are surprisingly thin given the quality, making it a genuine local favorite. Book the frescoed rooms in advance as access is timed and limited.
