Another reason to come to Testaccio is to check out one of Rome's most famous Contemporary museums, the Macro Testaccio. The museum was once home to a slaughter house and then later turned into a museum in order to showcase some of the best Italian and international contemporary art works. The complex showcases art exhibitions, performances and all sorts of special events. MACRO Testaccio also has a sister museum, also called MACRO but is located in the Trieste/Salario neighborhood. If you're into contemporary art, the Macro Testaccio is definitely worth an afternoon during your trip.
