Museum · Rome, Italy
No traveler has reviewed it yet. Yours would be the first on this page, and the bad parts are the useful parts.

Italy's national museum of Roman antiquities, split across four sites in central Rome, all covered by one ticket: Palazzo Massimo, Palazzo Altemps, the Baths of Diocletian and the Crypta Balbi.
The frescoes. The painted garden room from the Villa of Livia and the Villa Farnesina wall paintings at Palazzo Massimo are the best surviving Roman painting anywhere, and you will very likely have them to yourself.
Four sites on one ticket, extraordinary frescoes and sculpture, almost no crowds, and a location two minutes from the main station.
Italian-only labelling in most rooms. Crypta Balbi temporarily closed. Closed Mondays. The Termini surroundings are grim.
Anyone on a second visit to Rome, and anyone who wants Roman art without queueing for it.
It is your first day in Rome and you have not yet seen the Forum. Start there instead.
Go to Palazzo Massimo first and take the top floor before anything else, because that is where the frescoes are. The ticket stays valid across the sites, so spread them over the days rather than forcing them into one.
Full price 15.00 euros, reduced 2.00 euros, valid across all sites. Holders of participating museum cards pay 10.00 euros. A ticket for the Aula Ottagona alone is 5.00 euros. Free entry applies on the first Sunday of the month.
Palazzo Massimo is two minutes from Termini station on foot. Palazzo Altemps is near Piazza Navona, and the Baths of Diocletian are across the road from Termini.
Palazzo Massimo and the Baths of Diocletian sit either side of Piazza dei Cinquecento in front of Termini; Palazzo Altemps is in the historic centre near Piazza Navona.
Two hours for Palazzo Massimo alone, a full day if you do all the open sites.
Palazzo Massimo and the Baths of Diocletian have lifts and step-free routes; Palazzo Altemps is a historic building with some limitations.
The most underrated ticket in Rome. Fifteen euros, four museums, the best Roman frescoes in the world, and no queue. Start at Palazzo Massimo's top floor.

It is not one building. The ticket covers Palazzo Massimo, Palazzo Altemps, the Baths of Diocletian and the Crypta Balbi, which between them hold the best Roman painting and sculpture in the city.
