What day are most things closed in Rome?

Monday is the traditional day of closure for museums and heritage sites. There are some exceptions, but generally you shouldn't rely on being able to visit any archaeological site, museum or gallery on a Monday. The vast majority are open every day from Tuesday to Sunday, but it is always advisable to check in advance.
