Rome Transforms Metro Station Into Museum with Public Ancient Artefact Exhibit

Description

Builders of the San Giovanni metro station near Rome decided to line the walls with ancient archaeological artefacts found during the construction of Rome's third metro line and put them on public display for commuters and tourists. The many ancient treasures on display include columns, coins, amphorae, statues and pipes dating back to the 1st century AD, the height of the Roman empire. Rome's San Giovanni metro station is still under construction and is scheduled to open in autumn 2017. The San Giovanni station is being tested as metro station and free museum, two other stations may receive the same treatment. It hasn't yet been revealed if guards will be posted near the artifacts to keep troublemakers away, but the San Giovanni metro station is gearing up to be one of the coolest and most original metro stations in the world.
