These works come from an excavation in the 1800s, and another in the 1930s.<\/p>\n<p>While there is the permanent collection, occasionally the museum organizes temporary exhibitions as well to showcase works on loan or bring some of their very own pieces out of storage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Museum_highlights\"><\/span>Museum highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>In the first hall, you\u2019ll mainly come face to face with pieces of the Roman Republic period, uncovered at a Necropolis of the Esquiline Hill.<\/strong> Today you might recognize this area between Termini and Santa Maria Maggiore.<\/p>\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t miss two pieces in this first hall: the <em>Togato Barberini<\/em> and the sarcophagus of Crepereia Tryphaena. The <em>Togato Barberini<\/em> is a first-century sculpture of a Roman senator holding busts of two of his previously deceased relatives. We can tell the one on the left, symbolized by a palm tree, was once a general. Some claim it is a depiction of Brutus (the same one infamous for stabbing Caesar), however, there really is not much to support this.<\/p>\n<p>The Sarcophagus of Crepereia is quite a find. It is that of a young woman, about 18-20 years old. The relief on the sarcophagus shows her on her deathbed and those watching over her. Her tomb was found intact and she was dressed in elegant jewels, buried with a particular doll.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll enter the <em>Sala Macchina<\/em>\u00a0on the first floor. Here you will witness the grand engines of the ACEA plant, as a background to a series of statues discovered through excavations in central Rome.<\/p>\n<p>While there isn\u2019t necessarily one piece that stands out, take your time in this hall, it\u2019s incredible to soak in the collection in such a peculiar location.<\/p>\n<p>The last room to visit in the Centrale Montemartini is the <em>Sala Caldaie<\/em>. <strong>Here you\u2019ll find sculptures and mosaics that once adorned personal houses of wealthy Romans.<\/strong> Most of these were also found in the Esquiline area of Rome. One highlight to admire is the gorgeously intact mosaic that once decorated a private garden. It depicts a hunting scene with elaborate representations of different animals. Another interesting piece is a statue of Marsyas, a Greek Satyr who is shown being punished after losing a competition to the god Apollo.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the collection is fairly small, so while there are some great highlights, be sure to take your time and enjoy it all.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18004\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18004\" class=\"wp-image-18004 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/29025231268_0db1a1b703_k-male-statues-at-centrale-montemartini.jpg\" alt=\"Statue at art museum in rome \" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/29025231268_0db1a1b703_k-male-statues-at-centrale-montemartini.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/29025231268_0db1a1b703_k-male-statues-at-centrale-montemartini-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18004\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The statues at Centrale Montemartini are juxtaposed with an incredibly industrial setting.
