Largo di Villa Peretti, 2, 00185 Roma RM, Italy
Home to ancient Rome's finest sculptures — the Boxer at Rest, the Discobolus, the Hellenistic Prince — alongside extraordinary frescoed rooms reconstructed wholesale from imperial villas. The garden frescoes from Livia's villa at Prima Porta are especially astonishing: an entire room of Augustan-era painted gardens. Opposite Termini Station; the most peaceful of Rome's major museums.
