To get an overview of Rome’s post-medieval history, the Museo di Roma charts the city’s development through an eclectic collection of paintings, photographs, etchings, clothes and furniture. But more than the exhibits, what really impresses here is the 17th-century Palazzo Braschi that houses them, complete with its monumental baroque staircase, grand halls and views over Piazza Navona.
The museum also hosts popular temporary exhibitions – check the website for upcoming events.
