The museum reconstructs the birth and development of the historical villa. Villa Vecchia, with its annexed garden, is composed of a 17th century building erected on a pre-existing construction and whose current appearance is the result of renovation carried out by Francesco Nicoletti in 1748. Other buildings with a cultural function are linked to the villa: the greenhouses with educational workshops and the Giardino dei Cedrati, the Arco dei Quattro Venti and the Casale di Giovio. Each section illustrates a different theme: From antiquity to the Middle Ages to the 17th century; Theatre garden; Fountains; Famous persons; Classical and oriental myths; Funerary subjects and themes of everyday life; the 1800s: French war memorial and the Arco dei Quattro Venti; Landscape and furniture used in the 19th century. Worth noting: Statues of the Nile and Cybele, formerly in the Theatre Garden; reliefs with erotic and mythological subjects (between the 2nd and 17th centuries, also from the Theatre Garden; the bust of Paolo Giordano Orsini, Duke of Bracciano, by the Bernini school; sculptures of the Fountain of Venus, formed by parts of Roman statues restored under the orders of Algardi.
