The Capitoline Museums

Today we returned to the Capitoline museums (Palazzo dei Conservatori and Palazzo Nuovo) we had planned to visit earlier in the week and then changed our plans as it had turned out to be a lovely sunny day.

The museums were very expensive to enter at €11 each (although Em's ticket was €9 as they give a reduction for teachers) and we felt they were seriously overpriced for what was a very small collection of paintings and a load of statues discovered around Rome.

Piazza del Campidoglio and the Palazzo dei Conservatori


After eventually finding the way into the second museum - you have to go underground from the first museum - Steve is getting bored with the statues in Palazzo Nuovo.


At last we manged to get a half decent picture of "The Train" graffitti
