Museo de Montemartini... Part 1

I think it is best described by pictures but here goes a short synopsis anyways. The museum was opened during renovation of another museum in Rome and was kept open when the museum decided to exhibit collections found during the unification of Italy as well as the fascist era Italy. The building is an old power-station that serves to display the industrial history of the neighborhood as well as the rich cultural heritage from Rome's past.

Enjoy!
