📜 Some history: The Palazzo Massimo is ancient museum where you will find sculptures, paints and mosaics, I personally loved it when I visited few years ago. You will dive into 2,000 year old history which will make you experience the Roman Empire and the Greek influences. The Palazzo Massimo is also called Palazzo Massimo alle Terme due to its close proximity to the Baths of Diocletain. The villa is a superb Neo-Renaissance style palace, erected between 1883 and 1887. It was used as a Jesuit college until 1960 and in 1981 it was transformed into part of the National Roman Museum.
The National Roman Museum is located in four different buildings; the Baths of Diocletain, the Palazzo Altemps, the Crypta Balbi and lastly, the Palazzo Massimo. This last palace features one of the best archaeological and classical art collections in the world.
