Meseo Nazionale Romano (The National Museum of Rome) in Palazzo Massimo, situated in the historic city center, a short distance from Termini station, houses one of the most important collections of classical art in Italy. The four floors of exhibits offer a rich panorama of Roman art from the Late Republican era through the Late Antiquity( 2nd c.BC - 5th c. AD).
The exhibits include masterpieces of ancient sculptures, ancient Roman frescoes and mosaics, as well as Roman coins and jewels, even a Roman Mummy.
I find the most interesting part of the exhibits is that there are numbers of busts displaying Roman ladies' hair styles.
