The museum is partitioned into three main areas. The gallery at the south aspect of the building incorporates the reception space and an introductory exhibition and can be accessed through a stair and a ramp rising from the Tiber river banks. After the introductory gallery, the traffic input the important pavilion, a massive hall, flooded by way of the diffuse light coming from a translucent glass ceiling, wherein the stays of the Ara Pacis are on view. This is with the aid of a long way the most impressive space of the museum, in reality enticing gallery that quite resembles the Parthenon Gallery of the Acropolis Museum in Athens, though at a much smaller scale. In 2017, the museum brought an augmented reality installation which provides 360° interactive views of the authentic appearance of the altar with all its vividly colored decorations (as many antique sculptural works, the frieze of the Ara Pacis became indeed no longer a pure, almost metaphysical, white relief as we're aware of seeing it these days; it became as a substitute intensely painted with red, inexperienced, blue, and yellow pigments). The 1/3 phase of the museum contains the auditorium, two special exhibition areas, and a publicly on hand terrace overlooking the Mausoleum of Augustus nearby.
