Capitoline museums are settled on the Capitoline hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome. After the groups of people lived on those hills started to communicate and played a series of religious games, the bonding between those groups became stronger.

In the beginning, there were two types of museums, private and public. The private museums were just collections of antiquities and artifacts by a random personality and were not allowed to general public. It was kind of private property.
