| Hall of the Machines of the Capitoline Museums in the former Giovanni Montemartini Thermoelectric Centre in Rome Italy. The spacious hall contains the two colossal two-speed motors that were installed on the 21st April 1933 and had a total power of 15.000 HP. The sculptures inserted among the machines are high-quality copies of Greece originals and document the cultural taste of the ancient Rome and the habit of the roman collectors. The history of the Museum began in 1997 with the transfer of hundreds of sculptures into the new location during the restructuring works of the Capitoline complex converting it after the great success in a permanent exhibition. It is an extraordinary example of industrial archaeology converted into a museum for classical art. |
