The question that I would like to ask is: aren’t we all tired of visiting museum upon museum? It can be argued that apart from changing locations, you are in reality just seeing and admiring art in the form of paintings or sculptures, dealing with the same themes. Wouldn’t you like to break this mold and truly visit and experience a museum completely out of the ordinary? If you do, then you need to read on….

If you want to enjoy some of the weirdest locations that Rome has to offer then you definitely need to come and pay the Crime Museum a visit. The Crime Museum is actually run by the Roman Ministry of Justice! The Museum is housed in what used to be a prison so there isn’t any doubt to the museum’s authenticity.

Originally built in the 1800´s, today the Crime Museum is home to several offices owned by the Roman police department. It couldn’t possibly be more of a suitable location for the Crime Museum; you even have to go through a security check! This goes a long way in adding a new dimension to your overall experience in witnessing crimes that have been caught in time.

The museum is made up of three sections, each one of them dedicated to the main categories of crime. Subject matter such as dealing with investigation techniques, police search methods and the involvement of serving a criminal sentence are all covered. Each section is appropriately named with the nature and theme of the material that it covers, one such section is known as ¨Punishment & Crimes.¨

The ¨Punishment & Crimes¨ section is undoubtedly the most famous one out of all the sections; this is mainly due to its gory and gruesome nature which has fascinated tourists from every corner of the world. It therefore comes as no surprise that this is the section that is most heavily visited by tourists. Due to being such a bizarre and interesting attraction, you have to make sure to book your accommodation in advance as Rome accommodation (accommodatie in Rome) gets booked up quite quickly. There’s a wide range of Rome apartments (Rome appartement) in the city centre which are definitely worth consideration. This is ideal as it allows you to mainly focus and direct your energy in experiencing the numerous attractions that the city has to offer.
