This relatively small museum sits atop Palatine Hill, not far from the House of Nero. It contains artifacts found during excavations on Palatine Hill, including statues, mosaics, frescoes and cameos. It's a nice way to spend 20-30 minutes at the end of your Forum/Palatine Hill tour.

This is a small but very rich museum that showcases the many archeological discoveries found during the excavations of the Palatine Hill. They present artifacts, pictures and vivid videos and other presentation in a way that is captivating.
We were able to access it using the 72 Hours Roma Card which was great.

I loved this small museum of archeological discoveries found during the excavations of the Palatine Hill. So often finds are moved to larger museums, so it was especially nice to view the statues, pottery and architectural details in the area where they were found. There is signage in English, and there is also an intriguing past life video that is really well done.
The museum is now only accessible if you have purchased the Biglietto S.U.P.E.R. that allows access to seven sites (see review for House of Augustus). The toilettes outside the museum are still open to all.

Museo Palatino is in the Palatine area so you can enter when you visit the Roman Forum. It is not a huge museum, but the objects it holds are artifacts found on the surrounding site. They are quite lovely and many simply stunning. It is worth a look.

We rushed through here with our tour and probably would have spent more time on our own. That's why we're returning this afternoon. This and Palestine Hill shouldn't be rushed. Way too much history here.

I have tried a number of times to visit this museum. No matter the time, no matter the day, the door is always locked with no hours posted and no explanation. Ask the staff and they just shrug, so don't count on visiting it!

This small museum is located on the Palatine Hill area, and connected to the Forum. The building is actually a former convent, and it houses many of the artefacts unearthed in this area, including statues, pottery and mosaics. It also provides bathroom facilities, possibly with a queue. The displays tell the story of this area and complement any exploration of this archeological site.

Worth a quich look whils you are up at the Imperial Palace

There is a wealth of cool air and knowledge of what the Palatine looked like in it's glory in this Museum. Mussolini's name is still on the building interestingly.
Liked their video presentations and the displays were fascinating.
More history to absorb then out to the ruins and the imagination reconstructs what once was there....
