Gas works/Art works

Old Giovanni Montemartini would never recognise it, his old electricity plant and gas works. Derelict until 1997, it's now the overflow for the Capitoline Museums and is stuffed full of statues. The old generator building has been restored but altered very little and provides a great background - dials, knobs and all - to gleaming white sculpture. It's a kind of Roman Tate Modern/Ancient.
