MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES TOUR – ROME GUIDES

The Museums and Galleries Tour will allow you to visit world-class public and private museums in Rome, including marvellous art galleries and noble palaces full of sculptures, paintings and famous artistic treasures.

This page is only a summary list of the Guided Tours offered in the Museums and Galleries section. You can learn more about each visit by clicking on the name of the Museum of interest: at that point the appropriate Page of the Tour will open.

CAPITOLINE MUSEUMS

As a first option, you could visit the Capitoline Museums. The superb Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, the Capitoline She-wolf and the Spinario are just some of the wonderful works of art that we will examine in this extraordinary collection, and you will have also the chance to enjoy a panoramic view all over the Roman Forum and the Colosseum.

NATIONAL ETRUSCAN MUSEUM

As a second option, you could follow us in the National Etruscan Museum, located in the admirable Villa Giulia, built in Rome by the will of Pope Julius III. The exhibition will open wide the doors of the Etruscan culture and history, exalting itself in the Sarcophagus of the Spouses, dated back to the VI Century BC, with the couple lying in a familiar convivial or symposial pose.

NATIONAL ROMAN MUSEUM

Alternatively, the National Roman Museum of Palazzo Massimo, an important treasure chest of Roman antiquities, with the unreachable peak of the Portonaccio Sarcophagus and the impressive elegance of the Boxer at Rest, known as one of the most important bronze statues on display in the Italian museums. The rooms of this museum house real fragments of the ancient historical facts of Rome.

We can also suggest a visit to the second of the four locations of the National Roman Museum, the Baths of Diocletian: you can visit the monumental thermal baths of the Imperial Rome, starting from the analysis of the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and Martyrs and then jump to the discovery of the Epigraphic Museum housed in the structure.

ANDERSEN MUSEUM

Finally, a leap forward in time could take us into the midst of the dreamlike visions of the Andersen Museum, to discover the utopian ideal city imagined by the Norwegian artist, naturalized American. This Museum is almost completely unknown for the traditional visitors of Rome and Italy, but it will offer one of the most unforgettable and emotional experiences of your trip.

THE OTHER MUSEUMS OF ROME

If you wish to visit the collection of the Borghese Gallery, you can consult the special page of the Borghese Gallery Tour, dedicated to it. Bernini, Canova, Titian, Caravaggio, Raphael and other Renaissance Masters will be the highlights of this experience.

If you prefer to visit the Vatican Museums, entering the Sistine Chapel, please book that specific tour.

Rome Guides is available to take you to any museum in Rome. This list should therefore not be considered exhaustive: think about the Colonna Gallery, the Museum of the Baths of Diocletian, the Markets of Trajan, the Ara Pacis or the Doria Pamphilj Gallery.

Rome is an enormous open-air museum!
