To my dismay most of the collections and exhibitions on display around Rome were private, so unfortunately they were not free :( But the search for free museums did warrant some extremely long walks and the museum that was found in the end was amazing! My roommate and I ended up at one of the many "Museo Roma" however this one contained 15th and 16th century paintings of city. This was very interesting to see because most of the places like The Pantheon, The Vatican, Piazza Navona, and Campo Di Fiori are places that I see on a regular basis. To see them in the 14-1500's and compare what has change, and most amazingly what hasn't changed, was very cool! They also had a new exhibition which had simulations and video projections of roman sites throughout the day time either sped up or slowed down. Very artistic and neat to see! This museum is located on Corso Vittorio Emanuelle, very close to Campo Di Fiori and Piazza Navona. I definitely recommend going if you can!
At night there are light shows illuminating the artifacts and ruins of ancient Rome! The city projected movie and tv show clips that were set in Rome along with many "laser designs" showing the forum as it was and how it has changed in Rome's 2,765 years.
Here are some pictures:
