Combine Capitoline Museum (Musei Capitolini) with other Rome favorites. Some things are better together.
Consisting of four grand and historic palazzos, this complex of museums was designed by Michelangelo. Its large collection is devoted largely to the history of Rome itself, and it features many many artifacts that date back to antiquity.
It's also considered to be the world's original museum. Pope Clementine XII opened it up to the Roman public in 1734.
