The Museum of Rome is the centre for the artistic, cultural and social life from medieval to 20th Century Rome. It’s portrayed through paintings, engravings, pictures, pieces of furniture and clothes. It’s housed in the Braschi Palace, which was designed by Cosimo Morelli and erected at the end of the 18th Century between the Piazza Navona and Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Among the most impressive elements of the palace is the magnificent stairs at the entrance and the distempered decorations dating back to the end of the 18th Century and sculptures showing the Baptism of Christ by Francesco Mochi in about 1640.
