Capitoline Museums are the oldest public collection of ancient artworks in the world. Founded in 1471 by Pope Sixtus IV it was opened to the public by Clement XII in the early eighteenth century. The treasures of the Museums occupy several buildings that are joined underground but can also be visited separately: Palazzo dei Conservatori, Palazzo Nuovo, Palazzo Senatorio, Tabularium and Palazzo Caffarelli, which is only opened for special exhibitions.
