I went to a really cool exhibit at the Ara Pacis. The Ara Pacis is the peace altar of Augustus, there is a museum for the altar in the same building, but it isn't on the list of must see museums in Rome. The exhibit we went to see was called 45 years of Valentino. They had tons of valentino dresses on display around the peace altar and parts of the museum. They also had accessories and original Valentino sketches on display. They did a really excellent job arranging the display. They had a room with dresses that celebrites wore. They had dresses worn by Julia Roberts, Jackie Kenndey, Elizabeth Taylor, Reese Witherspoon, Jenifer Lopez, Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, Halle Berry, and many more. My favorite celebrity dress was Jackie Kennedy's. They also had little video screens next to the dresses showing the celebrity wearing the dress.
