The Capitoline Museums
The Capitoline Museums are installed in the 15th-century Palace of the Conservators, designed by
Michelangelo, and the 17th-century New Palace. The museums house an entire era of classic painting and high art. These two buildings host the world's oldest public collection, featuring ancient sculptures and paintings from the 14th to 17th Century.
The artists represented here include Caravaggio, Titian and Domenichino. The Capitoline also includes sculptures closely related to the history of Rome, such as the She-Wolf (c.500 BC), a symbol of the Eternal City, the Capitoline Venus and the well-known 'Satyr' by Praxiteles. Though the magnificent structures have undergone extensive restoration, they are now open to the public.
