Renaissance Art In Rome

The Top Five Museums To Visit in Rome

Rome is a city that, of course, teems with museums, which is what makes it so difficult for the first-time visitor to decide where to go. It can be difficult to uncover the very best Rome attractions and cheap tickets to such attractions. Ancient Rome tours are an excellent way of covering just some of the key museums in this culturally rich city. Here are five particularly fascinating museums that will be sure to captivate any visitor to incredible Rome.

The first choice for a visitor to Rome must, undeniably and incontrovertibly, be the captivating historical National Museum of Rome. The National Museum is divided into three enticing sections: the Palazzo Massimo, the Octagonal Hall, and the Palazzo Altemps, all together within the ancient and awe-inspiring Baths of Diocletian. The range of statues and historical artefacts cannot fail to impress.

Then there is the remarkable Borghese Museum and Gallery (Museum Galleria Borghese), established in 1613. This museum features celebrated masterpieces by such artistic prodigies as Raphael, Bernini, and Caravaggio, along with many others. Here you can find much debated and contested works of art, such as Titian’s ‘Sacred and Profane Love.’

If you wish to marvel at some modern art, the place for you is the Modern National Galley, which houses some of the most momentous artworks of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its broad sweep encompasses the movements of neo-classicalism, romanticism, as well as more modern movements. Notable artists range from the visionary genius Blake to Renoir, Goya and Klimt.

Following the very art-oriented Borghese museum and Modern National Galley, why not visit somewhere entirely different? Marvel in the unique atmosphere of the religious Museum and Picture Gallery of St. Paul’s Basilica. St Paul’s Basilica is an imposing and majestic monument, and you are sure to be enthralled by its museum. Some Ancient Rome tours allow you to skip the line for this particular Rome Museum. Considering the immense popularity of St Paul’s Basilica, it is a good idea to look for a ‘skip the line’ offer if you can.

Finally, if you want to delve into the rich architecture of Rome, the National Etruscan Museum is exceptional. It’s most renowned work is the impressive, almost life-size Bride and Groom, which is sure to draw your attention.

Conclusion: These five museums all hold their own charm, despite being vastly different in terms of the treasures they possess. Satiate your appetite for Roman culture, and attempt to capture the essence of complex and compelling Rome, by exploring these five diverse museums. The Modern National Gallery covers modern art, the Borghese Gallery: Renaissance art. The National Museum is a living monument to the history of Rome, the National Etruscan holds great architecture, and St Paul’s Basilica museum is of great religious significance.
