About
Enter anytime between 9am and 5pm Featuring original statues, mosaics, frescoes, jewellery and everyday objects from the humblest to the most sumptuous, this Melbourne-exclusive exhibition is a vibrant exploration of Rome's political, cultural and social life. From the fall of Julius Caesar to the power and ambition of an Empire, explore Ancient Rome's political, social and spiritual worlds through over 180 objects dating from the Imperial period 1st Century CE to the 3rd Century CE, with all of the objects on display in Melbourne for the first time ever. The exhibition, designed by Museums Victoria and developed in collaboration with Contemporanea Progetti and curators Dr Federica Rinaldi, Dr Sara Colantonio and Dr Carlotta Caruso from Museo Nazionale Romano, will draw on the extraordinary collections of the Museo Nazionale Romano and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, two of Italy's most prestigious museums, for a never-before seen exhibition.

What to expect
Expect a warm, easy crowd — busy enough to feel alive, calm enough to talk. It suits a slow evening. No rush, no agenda.
The essentials
Pricing is moderate, and the event runs Fri 09:00. You'll find it at Melbourne Museum — the surrounding blocks carry the same energy, so the night doesn't have to end at one address.
