Centrale Montemartini
Roma
There are many museums in Rome where you can look at ancient art. However, Centrale Montemartini is one of the most special ones due to its location. The museum is housed in the city’s old thermal power station and, consequently, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, friezes and mosaics coexist with boilers, turbine engines, and other original machinery from the old plant. The works on display over this industrial backdrop turn a museum that could go unnoticed by many into an unusual space that exudes a unique character.
