Closed for the foreseeable future
Mar 2018 • Couples
This was one of my must see museums on my third visit to Rome - a model of the city at the time of Constantine, plaster casts of Trajan’s column which you can get up close to plus lots of other statues and sculptures. But it’s closed. According to the website it’s closed for cleaning but there was no sign of anything going on, and no notices indicating when it might re-open. It looks like it will be shut for a long time with bottles and piles of litter filling the entrance doors. There are thousands of tourists in Rome, most seeing the main sights at very reasonable rates, why can’t these be raised a little to cover the costs of museums such as this being able to open. And whilst I’m having a moan, more decent toilets in the Forum and even a cafe inside, like the one in Pompeii, which would bring in even more much needed cash. Really disappointed.

I am determined to visit this museum eventually
Oct 2017 • Couples
We tried to visit this museum in 2000, but were prevented from doing so by a transport strike. We tried again last Sunday - it's a very long treck by metro and on foot. It must be Rome's best kept secret because there are no signs to it. By trial and error we eventually reached the handsome Colosseum-like building shown in the guide books, only to find that the correct building is at the other end of the boulevard - oh, and it's closed on Sundays.....ah well, we'll try again next time.

Unreliable opening times
Apr 2016
We made a point of trying to visit in the morning and avoiding Mondays, but still the museum was closed. It is a long way to travel out with the chance it will be closed. However, EUR is interesting and easy to explore, worth a look by itself.

Amazing museum
Jun 2015 • Solo
The history of the Roman Empire, from the early Republic to the late Empire, all shown with a mixture of archaeology and reconstructions of exquisite quality. Definitely worth a visit for those who are interested in history. There's a full size plaster cast of Traians Column in the museum, fully worth the visit on its own. Note: Not located close to the city center, so some travelling is required.

Amazing museum that few visit
Jan 2014 • Business
All over Rome you see these posters and postcards with a 3D model of Ancient Rome. Well, that model--built on orders from Mussolini--is in this museum and it is about an acre in size!! There are also models of many other ancient buildings and a full sized "unwrapping" of Trajan's column with explanations of each panel. I have been here twice and both times I never saw more than 3 other people. It is out in the EUR section and few folks ever go there, but it is wroth the trip if you have more than a couple of days in Rome.

not open, no notice given
Mar 2014 • Couples
This was to be The Main Museum that we went to on this trip. It is quite a way out of the city -- metro to EUR Fermi station which is the next to the last stop on the line. We then walked 3 to 5 blocks and found the museum but we also discovered that it was closed for renovations. The guard that explained why it was closed was not able to give us an estimate as to how long the renovations would take. There is No Sign saying the museum is under renovations and there is NOTHING on their website indicating it is closed. Thankfully at the opposite end of the main boulevard was the Museum of the Middle Ages so our long metro ride was salvaged.

Closed indefinitely
Feb 2014 • Solo
I presume that the financial crisis hits hardest in those 'inessential' areas like museum curation and conservation but it was a pain to travel out to EUR only to find the museum closed indefinitely. However I spent a wonderful day looking at the amazing 1930's architecture of the area which is unfortunately now a huge open-air car park.

Fascinating museum
Oct 2013 • Couples
A visit to this large museum is well worthwhile. Many of the displays are models and reproductions, but this doesn’t take from the history of the pieces and the picture they give of ancient Rome. There are also original pieces.

The exhibitions are very well laid out, beginning with Roman origins and the historical figures. The famous she-wolf is impressively presented. There are many fine statues and sculptures in this Section. Ancient daily life gets comprehensive coverage with aspects such as schooling, writing, science & medicine being described.

One of the highlights is the plaster casts of all the reliefs on Trajan’s Column. They are situated on both sides in a long gallery and number around 125 in total. The detail is extraordinary. The vista along the length of the gallery is most impressive.

The museum was closed in 05 February, without any indication for this (I verified in the last 2 weeks of January on the internet, before the trip to Rome)

Closed with effect 27 Jan 2014
Jan 2014 • Solo
Went there today as a good way to spend a wet day in EUR, to find that it had closed (seemingly indefinitely) for refurbishment on 27 Jan 2014. There is no 'banner' on the website, and no sign up outside the museum to advise of this change.:(
