In the Vatican Museums you can see the Sistine Chapel, Greek and Roman sculptures, and an extensive collection of paintings. The Musei Capitolino houses world-renowned sculptures like the Capitoline Venus. Though small, the Galleria Borghese offers a breathtaking collection of paintings by Raphael and Caravaggio. The Palazzo Altemps in the National Roman Museum features 104 sculptures in the Boncompagni Ludovisi collection alone.
