Centrale Montemartini

The experience

A branch of the Capitoline Museums housed in a decommissioned 1912 power station in Ostiense. Ancient Roman marble statues, busts and mosaics are displayed against the original diesel engines and turbines, a striking pairing of classical and industrial. Well away from the centre, its wide, well-spaced halls are usually quiet.

A serene, uncrowded museum where Roman sculpture stands among giant vintage machinery.
