Visting Rome

[Lessa]

I suggest you to visit this museums:

http://www.pigorini.beniculturali.it/
http://www.museociviltaromana.it/
http://www.itnw.roma.it/ostia/scavi/show...fldAuto=14

(don't know why is in Russian)

The Pigorini Museum is side by side to the Hight Medieval Museum (Not medieval at all. It's focused on the Migration Period).
The Museum of Roman Civilization is a little distant from the other's two. But if you have a map you can easily reach it walking (about ten minutes far)

All of this museums can be visit in one day. The Pigorini is beautifull for the preistoric and proto-storic section, but is famous for the etnographic collection (Oceania, Africa, ecc)
Ah... no photos allowed. Just in the Museum of the Roman civilization you can make all the photos that you want (because all the pieces exposed are replicas and huge models).

Unfortunately the Hight medieval museum is close on Monday. So if you want to visit you have to go another day (if i remember well the other's two are opened) just for it.
This 3 museums are all located in EUR (it's a neighborhood) you can get there easily with the metro. EUR-FERMI stop if i remember well. All the reenactors that have participated to the Rome's Dies Natalis know this stop because from there we reached the "Faboulous" camping.

I Musei Vaticani.

I passed almost a day in the Etruscan section (there is located the famous, well-preserved, aspis shield)

http://archeoroma.beniculturali.it/musei...iocleziano

These two museums are exactly in front of the Termini Station. The ticket is cumulative (if you ask so).
In palazzo massimo there is the famous boxer statue, and an incredible collection of roman coins. (photos allowed)
In the Diocletian's Bath there are lot of statues and roman artifacts.
(photos allowed).

No-photos museum, but a lot of interesting things to photograph. Very sad.

Well, think it's all. I visited also the Zoo, the botanist park, the natural history museum, and so on. But i guess this could not interesting you. This is my planning for a three-days research/vacation trip. With all the museums selected nearby to optimize times.

Hope this could be usefull to you.
Cheers!

P.s.
In Rome right know the weather is terrible and there are a lot of problems with trains and taxi drivers. I suggest to wait untill the springs comes and visit Rome maybe...during the Dies Natalis!!
