Museum of Roman Civilization

The Museum of Roman Civilization (Italian: Museo della Civiltà Romana) is a museum in the Esposizione Universale Roma district of Rome devoted to aspects of Ancient Roman Civilization.

The museum was designed by the architects Pietro Ascheri, D. Bernardini and Cesare Pascoletti[1] (1939–1941).

[5] Work on the renovation was started in June 2017;[6] as of January 2024, no date has been announced for the reopening.

In the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, the marble colonnade of the museum doubled as a cemetery after the Archconfraternity of the Departed[7] confraternity barred the filming of a funeral scene at the Campo Verano cemetery.

[10] The music video of the song "Cruel Summer" Ace of Base was also filmed at here in 1998.
