Welcome To Rome

Supercool 3D visualisation & immersive cinematic movie of the most iconic buildings & the history of Rome. Perfect activity to gain knowledge about the city. the ticket costs 15 Euro per Person, no waiting time, we spend app. 60 min there. Would highly recommend visiting (ideal at the beginning of your Rome visit).

Great compact museum that gives you a good overview of the history of Rome and its key landmarks. The cinema experience was really cool and you can really visualise how it used to look. Would recommend visited early in your visit to Rome, we spent about an hour here.

This didn't start out as I expected but it ended up being incredibly informative and the last map room was fantastic. It's set up as you go to four small side rooms where watching a small projection and 3D model on four key areas of Rome (Mausoleum of Hadrian, St. Peter’s Basilica, Forum of Augustus, Imperial Forums) - going through a few minute overview of its history and how it would've looked in its prime. The audio is via an audio guide in your language, and each room is about 5 minutes of explanation whilst standing. The last room area has a large topography map of Rome with large screens above and comfortable theatre seating. It goes through the full history of Rome in 25 minutes, showing the size and key landmarks on the bottom map, and enhancing it with additional visuals on the screens above. It does take about 1 hour which is defined by the presentation lengths. I was disappointed during the first few minutes as felt like it was just watching a Tv but do give it a chance as it ups its game with each new area. For facilities, they also have a small gift shop and indicated a toilet was available.

Staff are friendly, the shows provide some information, but in general it is boring and waste of time, I nearly was about to fall asleep few times, and the kids lost interest. No real interactive multimedia, information provided can be found on the Internet. Shows must be recreated with modern interactive multimedia to make learning fun for kids instead of 1980s static video clips.

Small but mighty museum to help you imagine how Rome evolved over the centuries. I actually was looking for somewhere like this since my last visit to Rome, so I was very happy to find it! I think with a little bit of more investment it could be more interesting as virtual reality is getting more advanced each day. I think it would be great to include a simulation to walk inside the Ancient Rome as a pedestrian. I also suggest having more language options in audio guide. Nevertheless, we had a good 1-1.5 hour in the museum with little kids.

We finished the day by visiting Welcome to Rome - a high tech / computer graphics, reproduction of the history of Rome. It was very clever. Recommended.

An absolute MUST for families with children and people who may have less knowledge about ancient Rome and its history. It conveys the origins of Rome in an excellent way and deals with important buildings in the city. The whole thing is visually extremely appealing. The staff could be a little friendlier (as is so often the case at, in and around Rome's sights), but that didn't detract from the content of the experience. Absolutely recommendable.

Super awesome experience!! One of the first things you should do when visiting Rome to see the different eras and how the city became what it is today. Super cool renderings of what certain things looked like thousands of years ago. Engaging and unique. Spent just over an hour visiting, with 30 minute video to start and the 4 rooms that were each about 5 minutes each.

A must for any new visitor in Rome! The light shows and the main projection are nothing short of wonderful. It makes you see in a deeper way every other attraction you will find in your visit, so in addition to the great experience we had a big additional value for the entire trip in the city.
