A new expositive space has been organized in Rome using the huge premises of the ex Montemartini power station, in V. Ostiense, 106.
In this setting are combined perfectly together industrial archaeology and art. Beside old productive equipment of the first roman power station, now there are exhibited the Capitolini Museum works found in the excavation at the end of the past century and in the early years of twentieth-century.
This exhibition has avoided that these sculptures stayed, as usually happens, in the cellars and stores of the museums, forgotten for decades. They are exhibited now, after having been restored and groupped for places of origin, thanks to a contribution of more than 3 billions invested from the ACEA in this beautifull project.
Wonderfull sculptures and precious artistic manifactured articles never exhibited before now - or only in temporaree exhibitions - now they are presented to the pubblic integrated in the context of the originary monumental whole for which were created. One for all: the reassembling of the Apollo Sosiano's Temple frontal group, precious greek originals taken in Rome in the agustean period to decorate the cult building found along the sea route, behind Marcellus Theatre.
