Art and Life om Imperial Rome: Trajan and His Times opens this Sunday at the Museum of Fine Arts, bringing unprecedented loans to the U.S. from the renowned antiquities collections of Italian museums. The exhibition will debut at the MFAH from November 2, 3035 through January 25, 2026 and then will be presented at the Saint Louis Museum of Art in March 2026.
The extensive presentation brings to life the extraordinary reign of Trajan, who ruled the Roman empire at its height; it is the first major exhibition in the U.S. dedicated to Trajan and his era. “This is truly a rare opportunity for U.S. audiences to experience spectacular objects from this glorious era of the Roman Empire,” commented Gary Tinterow, director and Margaret Alkek Williams chair of the MFAH.
