    Cool place to view modern art
    Take a walk through Villa Borghese park amongst Italian families enjoying a day out in its beautiful gardens - hire one if those weird cyclemobiles if you have a mind to - and then arrive at this beautiful museum, packed with modern art. The star attraction for us was Duchcamp’s ‘Fountain’, the most important artwork of the twentieth century, but this is only the highlight of a truly superb collection of modern Italian and international art (Pollock, Van Gogh, Kandinsky). As a novel touch, these modern works are displayed alongside classical Roman sculptures that seem to have intruded meaningfully into this modern space. Admission is around €15. And the restaurant is also a very good place for lunch with reasonably priced, tasty Italian food on offer.

    Nice museum
    Worth a visit, the Galleria Nazionale features some of the most famous italian artists of the XXth century. It is not too large, a one hour visit is enough, but you can spend a whole afternoon in there if you want to enjoy its calm and peaceful environment. The bar/restaurant is also very nice.

    Antodote to antiquities
    When you’re in Rome and you need some time off of the old stuff (and the crowds), try this: a great collection of modern art in a huge classical palace. The permanent exhibition has got some great works (Pollock, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Degas) but the temporary exhibitions were interesting too. In the back of the museum is an elegant restaurant.

    Beautiful Gallery
    An enormous building housing contemporary & modern art along with some old masters. Easy flow with many rooms. Some paintings are from floor to ceiling. Interesting pop art, sculptures and many pieces made from natural materials evoking much thought, questions and humor. Glad we went.

    Good collection
    A good collection of modern art. It touches on most major areas of western modern art. A lovely antidote to all the renaissance art you might be seeing. Both give each other context. We spent a two hour and that cover the collection.

    Benedetta rulez!
    Awesome gallery! We really appreciated the proactivity of Benedetta who offered to guide us through the exhibition enriching the experience with her knowledge. We wouldn't have had the same experience without her guiding us and explaining the history and details of the pieces exposed. She should be hired straight away!

    Chock-full of amazing art and some big hitters
    Amazing gallery full of some amazing art - as well as some massive names. You wouldn't know from the guide books but the gallery contains pieces by Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, Miro, Warhol, Kandinsky and many more. Really nicely presented and a lovely way to spend a morning.

    My experience was unexpectantly pleasant
    I will divide my review: 5* is for my own visit experience. We didn't even plan to visit here, it was lunchtime and the closest place was the cafeteria of this art gallery (will follow) since our next destination was still closed due lunch so we decided to spend 1-2 hours here. In reality I wasn't that enthusiastic to visit (I'm not so modern) but it turned out to be unexpectantly pleasant. Klimt, Cezane, Monet, Van Gogh, Warhol, Miro, Mondriaan, Pollock, Lega, Modigliani, de Chirico and many other interesting ones. There were other quaint exhibits, colorful, it was a thumbs up experience. 3* We lunched at their cafeteria (Caffe delle Arti) before visiting the gallery and we had some sandwiches (just OK) but service was a way snobbish; clientele were mostly socialites and white-collar workers. 2* Was reading the other reviews :( found an article from a local art expert criticsizing how bad the main masterpieces absence were handle, at least a small note apologizing the absence but at this time, hopefully they are back in site now...

    Perhaps in the top 10 of all the museums I have been to!
    I would go first to have lunch in the lovely restaurant and then wander the building, which is as glorious as the works inside. Lots of familiar names and many new Italian talents. It is just a fabulous place, that will continue to get better. It felt good to see contemporary Art after days of "old" works. Just go and be happy there. Afterwards, walk back through the park, which was The Borghese's back yard.

    Great modern art museum
    Beautifully exhibited, large rooms, with a number of well known artworks. The mix between modern and ancient art is most intriguing, and the creative and open-minded, free way the artworks are portrayed in reflects the approach needed to best connect to contemporary art. An absolute pleasure to visit.

Our visit to this museum exceeded expectations. The curator provides varied collections and exhibitions within an architecturally significant facility. Easy to get to if you are near Villa Borghese. Even the two 8 year old children with us had a good time and we were there about 90 minutes. If you have some free time while visiting Rome, you should consider visiting this gallery.

This was a nice museum for a solo day in Rome! They have a ton of different exhibits, I especially loved the old Italian clothes in the fashion exhibit. The museum is right next to the park so do the park and then go to the museum to cool down and look at some art!

This gallery consists basically of pictures and paintings hung on walls without any logic whatsoever: beside every artwork there’s written only the author, the title and the date. No mention of the materials used, the size, the context it was realized in. Not a single word about the authors themselves. Moreover, the paintings are grouped completely at random, so you can see a photo taken in 2010 next to a 1800s painting. It just doesn’t make sense! You can only place and contextualize the artworks if you’re an expert. I could with some of them. We left after 30 minutes
