Centrale Montemartini museum

Another place that I want to visit before I leave Rome is the Centrale Montemartini museum. The building where the museum is in used to be an industrial power plant. It was actually Rome's first power plant, so the history isn't just in the art work on display there. There would be a ton of cool things to look at. The museum houses Roman statues and artifacts belonging to the Capitoline Museums. (eyewitness guide) I think it would be very cool to see Roman statues in an industrial setting. The contrast of a rugged power plant and white statues would be very interesting. (Image from www.wikipedia.com)
