The 18th century Palazzo Braschi, in the heart of Renaissance and Baroque Rome, is home to the Museum of Rome. It is the most significant institution for the knowledge of social history and artistic activities in Rome from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century.

The original historical-documentary vocation has evolved in favor of the artistic valorization of the Museum which consists of a collection of about 120,000 objects, including paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs and clothes.
