The Museums are located on the Capitoline Hill; they are composed of two buildings (Palazzo dei Conservatori and Braccio Nuovo) and an underground passageway (Tabularium).

Our visit will begin at Palazzo dei Conservatori, where we will see the Lupa Capitolina (the bronze she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus), Lo Spinario ("Boy with Thorn") and the Capitoline Brutus.

From Palazzo dei Conservatori we will also see part of the temple dedicated to the Capitoline Triad. Our visit to the Capitoline Museums will continue on to the other side of the piazza, in the Braccio Nuovo, where we will see statues like the "Dying Gaul" and the "Capitoline Venus".
