The Must-Visit Museums in Rome
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or an expert on the cultural heritage of Rome, the city has an array of museums and galleries to suit any taste.
Make the most of your Rome experience by joining Culture Trip’s 10-day small-group Northern Italy tour, which allows you to explore the city by bicycle and with the knowledge of our local insider.
Often referred to as an open-air museum, Rome is brimming with ancient ruins, Baroque architecture, Renaissance churches, and other treasures from the city’s long and compelling past. Naturally, the Italian capital also has a diverse range of museums and galleries, from the well-established – the Capitoline Museums were the first public art museums in the world – to new arrivals designed by the most important names in contemporary architecture. Make a note to visit these favourites on your next trip.
