The “Greece in Rome” exhibit at Rome’s “Musei Capitolini”, December 22nd, 2025

Rome’s “Musei Capitolini” (the Capitoline Museums, the world’s oldest museum) is currently hosting the exquisite “Greece in Rome” exhibit.













The exhibit, the first of its kind in Rome, has on display 150 original Greek artefacts which enhanced the splendor of Ancient Rome (the Romans had been great admirers of Greek antiquity). 













Sculptures, ceramics, bronze statues and frescoes are on hand for the public to admirer.  The exhibit is divided into five different sections, sections that trace the profound historical ties between Roma and the Greek world.   Section three is of particular interest as it regards Greece having “conquered” the seat of what was once the most famous empire that the world had ever seen. 

The exhibit runs until April 12th, 2026.
