All roads lead to Rome; but only until next Sunday! 🇮🇹

If you haven't visited ROME: Empire, Power, People at @melbournemuseum, you've got until Sunday 25 October before this extraordinary exhibition closes.

This is far more than a history lesson. It's an immersive journey through Ancient Rome, where spectacular multimedia projections, atmospheric installations and more than 180 authentic artefacts bring an empire back to life.

From the political intrigue of Julius Caesar to gladiators, lavish Roman banquets and everyday life nearly 2,000 years ago, the exhibition explores the ambition, power, beauty and contradictions of a civilisation whose influence we still feel today.

What makes this particularly special is that many of these remarkable objects have travelled from Italy for the first time, exclusively for Melbourne.

I highly recommend making time for a visit. Take it slowly, soak up the atmosphere and appreciate how creatively history can be brought to life.

And while you're there, pop into the Brunetti Classico outpost for a little taste of Italy.

📍 Melbourne Museum, Carlton
📅 Final day: Sunday 25 October 2026

When in Rome? No need. When in Melbourne will do just fine.
