A history of Rome's Capitoline Museums is online on the web

For #laculturaincasa, Rome’s Capitoline Museums offer the Museum of Museums column that takes us through their 100-year history.

From the donation of the bronzes preserved in the Lateran by Pope Sixtus IV in 1471 to the establishment of the first modern museum on the Capitol in December 1733, the growth of the Capitoline collections has occurred through the gradual acquisition of so many works of art and museum collections.

The two-part introductory chapter focuses on the Sistine donation and the first steps of the 18th-century museum.
