The city of Rome owns so much ancient art that it has run out of places in which to display it. To create an amazing showcase for these old and beautiful pieces, the city converted an old, unused power plant into an art museum. It's especially interesting because they did not remove the power plant equipment. It's all still there, surrounded by 2000+-year-old sculpture and mosaics. The place is called Centrale Montemartini, and I highly recommend a visit. Photo taken in March 2010.
