The Musei Capitolini, or the Capitoline Musuems, are a group of museums specializing in art and archaeology, and are considered as the first museum in the world. Situated atop the Capitoline Hill, they are part of a grand piazza design conceived by Michelangelo in 1536 that was carefully executed over a span of more than 400 years. The first traces of the museum’s startup date back to the 1400s, where Pope Sixtus IV donated a significant collection of ancient bronze structures to Rome. Centre stage of the city square is a statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who was the last of the “Five Good Emperors” of Rome, with the original being housed in the museum. The underground tunnel, which connect the two buildings of Musei Capitolini, offers an exciting and intriguing experience for visitors who will find themselves walking through underground ruins.
