Whimsical museums
“Rome has many well known and top bucket list places, however I suggest that you explore the eternal city’s secret museums that even some locals don’t know about.”
Palazzo Altemps
📜 Some history: Erected during the fifteenth century by the Riario family and refurbished a century later under the orders of Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps, the Palazzo Altemps opened in 1997 as part of the National Museum of Rome. The Palazzo Altemps houses an important collection of Greek and Roman sculpture that belonged to several families of the Roman nobility between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Perhaps one of the most striking parts of the museum is the Church of San Aniceto, a small and pleasant church located within the building.
🗒️ Note* The entrance is valid for the four buildings of the National Roman Museum.
📍 Location:
Etruscan Museum
📜 Some history: Created in 1899, the Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia houses works from pre-Roman Italian antiquity, especially from the Etruscan world. A visit to the Villa Giulia is very interesting, not only because the objects on display are very unique and varied, but also because a visit to the mansion and gardens is quite pleasant.
📍 Location:
Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna
📜 Some history: Paul Cezanne, Antonio Canova, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh… Rome’s Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna is one of the best art museums in Italy. Rome’s Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (National Gallery of Modern Art) was created in 1883 to house the newly unified Italian state’s contemporary works of art. The Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna offers an impressive collection of Modern Art, with a large number of pieces of art by renowned artists. It is definitely a very interesting museum with a wide range of art movements.
