http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo_Massimo_alle_Colonne
a really wonderful museum jammed packed with antiquities . It is an austere place.
It holds the most amazing sculptures, mosaics and wall paintings from the ancient Roman world.
Considered one of the best museums in the world. I can vouch for that. It all depends if you like like Roman antiquities.
