Palazzo Merulana

Housed within a splendidly restored palazzo, this impressive museum exhibits artworks sourced from the Elena and Claudio Cerasi Foundation (the Cerasis own the construction firm responsible for major projects such as the MAXXI). Most of the pieces on display are by Roman and other Italian artists active in the first half of the 20th century, including de Chirico, Pirandello and Capagrossi. Other draws include a spacious outdoor terrace, stylish coffee bar and excellent gift shop.
