- KWTravellerX8 contributionsCool place to view modern artTake 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.Visited January 2020Written January 25, 2020
- pmartinsluxCoimbra, Portugal324 contributionsNice museumWorth 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.Visited February 2020Written February 29, 2020
- Job SThe Hague, The Netherlands49 contributionsAntodote to antiquitiesWhen 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.Visited January 2020Traveled soloWritten January 6, 2020
- questtraveler01Tel Aviv, Israel402 contributionsBeautiful GalleryAn 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.Visited December 2019Traveled as a coupleWritten January 13, 2020
- Tony L16 contributionsGood collectionA 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.Visited July 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten July 26, 2020
- Gochugaru4 contributionsBenedetta 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!Visited May 2022Traveled as a coupleWritten May 19, 2022
- Henry EllissReading, United Kingdom142 contributionsChock-full of amazing art and some big hittersAmazing 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.Visited April 2022Written April 19, 2022
- TualieVarese, Italy1,318 contributionsMy experience was unexpectantly pleasantI 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...Visited May 2022Written March 12, 2023
- bettie9945New York City, New York23 contributionsPerhaps 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.Visited October 2022Written October 10, 2022
- David6 contributionsGreat modern art museumBeautifully 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.

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

I came in April of 2019. I just walked in and got my ticket. There was no lines, no waiting. I don't think you need to book tickets online. You can keep your schedule flexible that way.

The nearest metro line is flaminio. Then it's a pleasant fifteen minute walk to the art gallery. Well worth it.
