About Capitoline Museums
The Capitoline Museums (Musei Capitolini) are a group of museums located in Piazza del Campidoglio on Capitoline Hill, designed by Michelangelo. Housed in the Palazzo dei Conservatori and Palazzo Nuovo, the museums are connected by an underground corridor. Founded in 1471 by Pope Sixtus IV with a donation of ancient bronzes, the museums now display a vast collection of Roman statues, inscriptions, Renaissance art, and more, all closely tied to the history of Rome. Owned by the city, they offer a deep dive into Rome’s artistic and archaeological heritage.
Pope Sixtus IV, who established the Capitoline Museums in 1471, also commissioned the Sistine Chapel.
One of the museum's most renowned pieces is the Capitoline Wolf, a striking bronze statue depicting a she-wolf nursing the legendary twins Romulus and Remus, which serves as a powerful symbol of Rome's founding myth.
Michelangelo was the mastermind behind much of the design of the Capitoline Museums, including Palazzo Nuovo, but he passed away before the project was completed.
