Large number of ancient Roman statues, inscriptions and other artifacts

A collection of medieval and Renaissance art

Collections of jewels, coins, and other items.

The Capitoline Museums, located on the top of the Capitoline Hill in Rome, are among the oldest public museums in the world. Established in 1471, the museums contain a vast collection of artifacts, sculptures and other works of art, ranging from ancient Rome to the Renaissance. The two main buildings of the museums are the Palazzo dei Conservatori, which houses the oldest part of the collection, and the Palazzo Nuovo, which opened in 1734 and is home to the more modern works of art.

The collection includes works by Caravaggio, Raphael, Bernini and many other renowned Italian artists. It also features a number of sculptures from ancient Rome, including the iconic marble sculpture of Marcus Aurelius and the bronze statue of the she-wolf. The Capitoline Museums also feature a number of archaeological exhibitions, including the remains of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, the first temple ever built in Rome. The Capitoline Museums are open to the public, and visitors can take guided tours or explore the collection on their own. Entrance to the museums is free on the first Sunday of each month.
