Borghese Gallery and Museum

This small but exquisite museum was originally the private residence of Borghese. There are several sculptures in the house that are amazing. Outside the museum is the Borghese Park. After visiting the museum, you can continue to enjoy the passing of time in the park. It is worth a visit.

I only just found out about this museum and hadn't had high hopes of getting tickets. But then I saw that Ctrip offered a tour, which was a great idea. However, the tour was in English, and I barely understood anything. It's best to learn about the artwork beforehand. The entire tour lasted two hours, and the tour guide took me all the way through. Afterward, I didn't have time to explore on my own. Also, the meeting point was actually right outside the museum entrance. Ctrip's description wasn't clear, so I contacted customer service, which was thankfully resolved.

Haha, we missed the time perfectly. Everyone, please pay attention to the reserved date. It also gives me a good excuse to go to Rome again. The pictures were taken at the nearby Piazza del Popolo. There weren't too many people there, so we could go shopping together.

Caravaggio paintings look more colorful in person. As for these ceiling frescoes, well, it's easy to understand why some of them are so important subjects in the art world. One of these frescoes directly demonstrates Michelangelo's use of color in a very obvious way.

I didn't do enough research and almost didn't make an appointment to visit the Borgose Gallery. Fortunately, there was still a guided tour in Italian, so I quickly grabbed it and wasted more than 20 euros. The museum is limited to two hours for visiting in batches. The viewing experience is first-class, and the ban on taking photos also makes the works themselves receive more attention. Looking around at 360 degrees, Bernini's delicate and expressive handwriting is amazing. Raphael and Caravaggio's paintings each occupy an entire exhibition hall. Interestingly, it seems that it is popular in the classical art museum world to "sandwich" modernist works in the works. Is it to express contrast or keep up with the times? This time, I encountered Lucio Fontana, who is also a great artist. However, if his works are not explained, you will really think that the exhibits are temporarily missing signs or unfinished frames. There are many "masterpieces" with a ball of oil mud and a few holes. Sharing the same hall with classic works can help boost the audience's confidence. After all, everyone can pretend to be such an artist.

You should find time to visit the Borghese Gallery. And for your first visit, get a guide so you can understand better and enjoy what you see. Also visit the Villa Borghese Gardens and have lunch in nature.

This is a must-see museum for our family in Rome. Because there is a temporary Picasso exhibition going on there, the staff does not allow taking photos, including the permanent collection exhibition, which is a particular pity for our family.

There are so many art galleries in Rome. Borghese is relatively small, but it is a collection of fine works and is worth seeing. It is convenient and fast to buy tickets on Ctrip. It feels good to use the software we are used to when visiting museums abroad. I will not comment on the masterpieces of the masters. Photography is not allowed in the museum, but I saw many people taking pictures, so I took a few pictures.
