With so much history on every corner, the city may seem to be frozen in time: the same wonderful museums you remember from your first visit or the restaurants that left an indelible impression on your heart. But Rome isn\u2019t called <em>eternal <\/em>for nothing, and the best way to remain so is to constantly evolve into something that threads the fine line between familiar and surprising. Rome is evolving and undergoing its own renaissance, and in the process reaffirming its spot at the top of any good traveler\u2019s bucket list. It&#8217;s time to rediscover Rome, and here&#8217;s where to start!<\/p>\n<h2>Rescued Museums, Virtual Chariots &amp; More than Modern Art<\/h2>\n<p>You couldn\u2019t possibly fit all of the incredible museums of Rome into one visit, and it would seem almost unfair to stack the deck so firmly against that by adding more. However, if you are returning to Rome or simply looking for something a little more off the beaten path, there is no shortage of new exhibits, installations and buildings to explore.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rescued Art Museum: Stolen artefacts recovered by police go on display in Rome\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/juUdOE6BaO8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The most interesting is right in the heart of the city center, at the Baths of Diocletian, one of the most famous arms of the National Museum of Rome.

They symbolize the cultural heritage of Italy and the tireless efforts of law enforcement to track, trace and recover it for future generations. According to the Minister of Culture, Dario Franceschini, \u201cThe Museum\u2019s exhibits will change according to the outcomes of investigative operations, international returns, and recoveries in areas affected by natural disasters.
