Capitoline Museums
Located on the hill of the same name, the Capitoline Museums constitute a museum complex unique in the world for the importance of their antiquity collections and centuries-old history.
The Montemartini thermoelectric power plant is one of the most original exhibition spaces in Rome, a place where the testimonies of antiquity and the remains of modernity meet and enhance each other. Rome's first public electrical system, in operation from 1912 until the mid-1960s, was converted into an exhibition space in the 1990s. In fact, in 1997, during the renovation works of the Capitoline Museums, the Centrale was chosen to temporarily host works from the collections of the Capitoline complex; the great success of the experiment, one of a kind, led to the transformation of the exhibition into a permanent exhibition. Since November 2016 the Museum has opened a new exhibition room which houses the carriages of Pius IX's Train. The charm and particularity of the rooms contribute to making the private events that can be hosted inside even more exclusive and special.
