Musei Capitolini Centrale Montimartini in Rome was an old electrical plant-they mix the antique statues with the machines and tools and it really makes you look at those sculptures in a very different way-check it out at: http://www.centralemontemartini.org/

You can do a virtual tour at this site: http://www.centralemontemartini.org/sede/visita_virtuale
