Retrace the entire 2,000-year history of the Colosseum through the permanent exhibition The Colosseum Tells Its Story.

With over 400 exhibits included, all visitors with tickets to the Colosseum have access to this fascinating exhibition, which begins by detailing its construction and journeys through to the beginning of the twentieth century, ending with a series of images of the Colosseum and a vintage film.

The exhibition also includes marble decorations from the imperial and medieval ages, when the Colosseum lost its original function and was used as a space for commercial, residential, and religious activities.
