Palatine Hill
This structure was set up in the thirties by Alfonso Bartoli, in the convent built in 1868 by the nuns of the Visitation, on the summit of the Palatine. The museum used then only the first floor for the display of the most important materials, including those recovered from the Museum of the Baths of Diocletian, where the remains of the Palatine had been transferred after the demolition of the first Palatine Museum in 1882. After the war, to give more importance to the Roman National Museum, it was decided that this museum were reserved items of particular artistic interest, and would be entitled to the Palatine Museum materials of importance attached to the hill topography and monuments. The museum was renovated in the late sixties and reorganized.
After a long period of closure, retrieve the sculptures in the Museum of the Baths of Diocletian, the Palatine Museum was reopened to the public with a new exhibition that illustrates the artistic culture of the Imperials Domus by Augustus until the late Imperial period.
