Palazzo Altemps represents one of the four facilities where the Roman National Museum is housed. The other three are Baths of Dicletian, Palazzo Massimo alle Terme and Crypta Balbi. Palazzo Altemps plays a very important role in the complex. The Palazzo is located in a severe renaissance styled dwelling and displays collections of statues of ancient Roman aristocracy, like the famous Boncompagni Ludovisi, the rich collection of Asdrubale and Ciriaco Mattei (1500) and the Altemps collection. Among the several works of the Museum the Galata Suicida group, characterized by its strong pathos; the famous Trono Ludovisi (original, fifth century b.C.); the Ares Ludovisi representing the birth of Venus, called by archaeologist Winkelmann “the best Mars of ancient times”; the celebrated group of Oreste and Elettra saying goodbye while holding each other.
