## Description

The Centrale Montemartini, tucked away in Rome's industrial district Ostiense, is a true gem of transformed and refunctionalized archaeology. Its value also stems from the fact that it continues to exist every day in nearly its original form and substance, enhanced by the presence of priceless artwork that greatly enhances the ensemble. The museum's history started in 1997 when a number of sculptures and artifacts from the Capitoline Museums, which were then undergoing extensive repairs, were moved to the power plant, which had been closed for a number of years. Visiting the Centrale Montemartini means immersing yourself in an environment where antique monuments' marble meets industrial equipment. The museum's chambers provide a striking juxtaposition between classical art and steel architecture, producing a hypnotizing environment. The statues, busts, and mosaics are situated alongside massive turbines and boilers, creating an unforgettable visual experience.
