In a Melbourne exclusive, the exhibition ROME: Empire, Power, People will draw on the collections of two of Italy’s most prestigious museums – Museo Nazionale Romano and Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze – to allow Australians to dive into Rome’s political, cultural and social life across one of the greatest eras in history.
‘This exhibition offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand before treasures nearly 2,000 years old and feel the pulse of a civilisation that shaped the world,’ says Lynley Crosswell, CEO and Director of Museums Victoria.
