When in Rome you do not really need to visit any museum at all to get to see and experience real history. Just walk around in the street and visit attractions such as Colosseum and Forum Romanum, and you will get a good piece of art and history easily. If you still would like more than just these normal attractions, Rome has several museums where you get to know more about famous artists such as Michelangelo, see statues of Constantin and Michelangelo, and of course get to know a whole lot about the history of Rome, Italy and the Etruscan civilisation

The most famous museum in Rome is the Vatican Museum, so if you have to pick one, that might be it.
