Diocletian’s Baths: The Museum of Rescued Art

In a 19th century neighborhood, just a few steps away from Piazza della Repubblica and Michelangelo's Church of S. Maria degli Angeli, a new section of the National Roman Museum has opened on June 15, 2022, called Museo dell Arte Salvata (Museum of Rescued Art). The new museum is located inside an ancient Roman hall belonging to the Baths of Diocletian; an exhibition of art objects and archaeological findings that were retrieved and returned to the Italian State by the Carabinieri Unit for the Art & Heritage Protection after they had been looted and taken out of the country in the past years.
