Rome’s newest museum, the Museo dell’Arte Salvata, gives the public a unique chance to see repatriated ancient artifacts before they head to their final destinations across the country.
The Museo dell’Arte Salvata (Museum for Rescued Art) was established last year as a branch of the National Roman Museum. It is a revolving showcase of “salvaged” art – a term that encompasses art that has been looted and illegally exported, damaged by natural disasters or simply neglected over time.
