Great idea.. Find some ruins, build a museum around them. Looks like solid construction from that pic..

The remains of a second century imperial barracks were found nine metres below street level in November, when construction began on Amba Aradam-Ipponio station on the city's new metro Line C.

SunkenCiv, your name is oddly appropriate. It appears that a lot of antiquity literally sinks into the ground.

It’s taken Rome forever to finish their subway system - it’s like digging with an archaeologist’s brush - every few feet they’d run into some artifact.

I always wonder if the Italians appreciate their ancient history as much as I do.
