Museo Palatino
- Address: Northwest crest of Palatino, Ancient Rome, Rome | Map It
- Category: Museums/Galleries
- Location: Palatine Hill
Fodor's Review:
The Palatine Museum charts the history of the hill from Archaic times (ground floor) through its history (ground and upper floors). On display are painted terra-cotta moldings and decorations from various temples, as well as splendid sculptures, frescoes, and mosaic intarsia. Upon request, museum staff will accompany visitors to see the 16th-century frescoes of the Loggia Mattei. Portions of the paintings have been returned here from the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City. In the same building are frescoes detached from the Aula Isaica, one of the chambers belonging to the House of Augustus.
