Of course, the Roman museums offer some of the richest exhibits in all the world. The mosaics and religious objects of ancient Rome are some of the grandest to be seen and are featured special in the Capitoline Museum. Other museums include the Palazzo Venezia, the national Museum of Rome, and the Vatican Museum. The scope and wonder of these great halls is beyond the minds capacity. Villa Giulia is amongst one of the greatest museums of the world and features Etruscan archaeological finds now located at the northwestern end of the Villa Borghese.

The galleries are also an immense storehouse of ancient history. These works include those found in the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and the famous "Pinacoteca" in the Borghese Gallery. The Doria-Pamphili Gallery has an extraordinary collection of paintings that includes works by Diego Velázquez, Titian, and Caravaggio. The National Gallery of Modern Art and the 17th-century Gallery of Ancient Art in the Palazzo Barberini also have a rich treasure-house of paintings that go as far back as the 14th century. When you visit these glorious places, you will be graced with such fine works by Fra Filippo Lippi, Raphael, Titian, Tintoretto, El Greco, and Caravaggio to name only a few. The museums are certainly what makes Rome what it is today.
