Capitoline Museum III


In September, 2023 I visited Rome and spent a delightful afternoon in the Capitoline Museum.  
Today I'm posting some more photos I took that day, starting with this Kassel type Apollo, 
said to be a Roman work in the style of the Greek Phidias.

  1. Das Kapitolinische Museum in Rom wird von Touristen oft übersehen, es ist ein Muss. (“)

    1. I agree. It is far less crowded than the Vatican Museum and in some key areas actually has better collections.

  2. The Capitoline Museum is one of the better museums of Rome and near the actual archaeological ruins of the ancient Forum of Rome, which are worth a walk through. On any journey to Rome, the Capitoline Museum, the Vatican museums and the Museum of Roman Civilization are go tos.

    1. You won't believe this, but if I had it to do over, I would skip the Vatican.
