The creation of the museum can be traced back to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated to the city a collection of important bronzes from the Lateran. This makes it the oldest public museum in the world. The antiques collection was enriched over time with donations from various popes, later the collection has grown considerably, including not only artifacts of the Roman age notable for quantity and quality (statues, inscriptions, mosaics), but also pieces of medieval, Renaissance and baroque art.
