Took my students here for the first time on our annual school trip when we couldn’t get a reservation at the Galleria Borghese. What a treat! We could’ve spent much longer here than the two hours allotted for our visit. Finally seeing La Fornarina in person and gazing at the incredible ceiling fresco in the salon (with the Barberini bees front and center!) made for an unforgettable morning. I’ll definitely be back! NOTE: you will need to rent a locker (1€) to check your bags. Belt bags seemed to be okay to keep on your person.

Visiting palazzo Barberini was a really nice experience. The views were marvellous and the information written on the pannels along the way - very useful. There are also some discounts, if you are between 21-24 years you can visit for free. Totally recomand it.

This former palace has many high-ceiling rooms with painted scenes on the ceilings. It is now an art museum with two floors to visit. They have a cloak room with lockers for any bags or coats that you don’t want to carry with you. Most of the artwork is religious (biblical) in nature, and we thought it was overall enjoyable. However, the price (13 euros) was too high for what there was to see.

dare i say my favourite museum in the centro storico? (if you don’t consider the keats-shelley house ofc) get there 5 min before opening time to be one of the first ones to get in and unlock the ultimate experience, trust me. i was able to spend almost 20 minutes in a room alone looking at judith beheading holofernes by caravaggio 10/10 experience

Palazzo Barberini Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica displays art from a wide array of famous painters--Caravaggio, Raphael, Reni... Here, you can actually enjoy the art without the crowds. The architecture of the place is breath-taking. Look for the staircase and the ceilings!

Well worth a visit especially with the current collaboration with the Villa Borghese. Plan on a long visit to enjoy the extensive fabulous collection. Check out the Art Masterpieces on the web before your visit to avoid missing one (The Veiled One), Portrait of Stefano IV, Woman with a Turban, La Fornarina). I am certain you will find countless to marvel at. I found it difficult to find the entrance with the GPS.

Palazzo Barberini is a 17th-century palace which was designed and built by architect Carlo Maderno along with his nephew, Francesco Borromini for Pope Urban VIII and the Barberini family. It is situated along Via della Quattro Fontane just to the east of Piazza Barberini and today plays host to one of the two city branches of the National Gallery collection at Palazzo. Opening times are 10am to 7pm daily (closed on Mondays) and ticket price is now €15 and includes entrance to both locations within a 20 day period. In addition to the impressive architecture of the Barberini Palace and Museum highlights including masterpieces by Bronzino, Lippi, Lotto, Raphael, Holbein, Canaletto, Titian, Tintoretto, El Greco and Caravaggio, there is an outstanding ceiling fresco in the final Salon Room of the museum tour by Pietro do Cortona. Plenty to feast your eyes upon during visit to the Barberini Palace.

The Galleria Nationale d’Arte Antica, Palazzo Barberini was one of the most wonderful surprises of my visit to Rome. The museum is filled with beautiful art and wow moments. Be sure to look up as some of the most exceptional pieces are on the ceilings. In addition to being surrounded by masterpieces it is also one of the few places in Rome that you can appreciate the art away from the maddening crowds. Off of the hall of columns is a beautiful fountain. Take a few moments to sit, listen to the sound of the fountain, and enjoy the wonderful statuary in the room. This museum is an oasis and a lovely gem that I would highly recommend! For a bit of fun….see how many bees (the symbol of the Barberini family) you can spot.

This was a great place to see some masterpieces, it is also a beautiful building. We ventured to the cafe/restaurant at the top of the steps to the garden. The garden was nothing to look at. Tip: do not order drinks at the cafe, was stung €24 for 4 cokes. The vending machine in the museum is better and takes cards

The Palazzo Barberini (Barberini Palace) is a 17th-century palace in Rome, beautifully facing the Piazza Barberini in Rione Trevi. Today, it houses the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, which is the main national collection of older paintings in Rome. The palace itself is a masterpiece of architecture, and the art collection is truly remarkable. A visit here is a journey through history and art. Highly recommended!
