Begin with early access and join a guided tour of 'ROME: Empire, Power, People' before the crowds arrive. Study objects and narratives that frame the lifestyle of Ancient Rome, presented within this exhibition in Melbourne.

Guided by a knowledgeable staff, review statues, mosaics, frescoes, jewelry, and utilitarian items that encapsulate Roman society spanning the era from Julius Caesar's fall to the peak of Imperial authority.

Traverse depictions of temples, plazas, and competitive arenas to understand the underpinning customs and societal frameworks of this historical empire. Exhibited items include over 150 pieces from the 1st to 3rd century CE, many displayed in Melbourne for the inaugural time.

The tour initiates before standard opening hours, with audio support provided. Afterwards, attendees may continue to view the collection at their leisure.
