 Introduzione
This is a somewhat unusual setting for a museum, as it is in the old electricity power station. The statues are exhibited next to old pieces of machinery that once were used in the station. The statues on exhibition belong to the Capitoline Museums and were found during the early years of the 20th century. The large spaces available mean that enormous sculptural works can be displayed.
