<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 2679613, member: 83956"]If you're into "numismatic tourism" in Italy, in addition to the Capitoline Museum collection, the underrated Palazzo Massimo branch of the National Museum of Rome is not to be missed. I have an extraordinarily high tolerance for museums. I spent so long in that museum that I was exhausted and dizzy from hunger. I was getting ready to exit the museum and then noticed that it had a basement. And what was in the basement? A breathtaking display of Roman coins. I gathered enough strength to last 15 more minutes, then I had to go get something to eat. I really wish I had done that floor first rather than last. The museum is just across the street up a block and to the left once you exit the Termini train / bus station, in the midst of the budget hotels that I typically stay at. It could not be better located.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/rome/attractions/museo-nazionale-romano-palazzo-massimo-alle-terme/a/poi-sig/389441/359975" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/rome/attractions/museo-nazionale-romano-palazzo-massimo-alle-terme/a/poi-sig/389441/359975" rel="nofollow">https://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/rome/attractions/museo-nazionale-romano-palazzo-massimo-alle-terme/a/poi-sig/389441/359975</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
