Musei Capitolini Review

Very beautiful, Very furnished but the entrance is expensive all the same.

The amount of art that is located here is so overwhelming that you can't watch it all in detail. It is amazing and beautiful at the same time. It is totally worth the time to walk around the marbel statues and painings that are old but still beautiful at the same time.

Wonderful collection of ancient Roman and renaissance pieces. Don't forget that the museum spans two buildings, one on the opposite side of the ticker office (access underground through the first building). Also make sure you don't miss the view of the Roman forum from inside the museum

One of the best museums in Rome with magnificent statues of ancient Rome and also with magnificent views over the Roman forum. Original statue of Marcus Aurelius on horseback in a magnificent modern hall. To be visited without fail if you go to Rome.

Great museum files with artifacts and beautiful art. Don't forget to check out the beautiful view on the Roman forum while paying the corridor at the lowest level.

Spectacular. Visited twice in the evening opening at the ridiculous amount of 2 euros (highly recommended). You cannot miss the "Capitoline she-wolf" and the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. Both original.

I came here a month ago, a museum full of historical works, and every room well organized !!!!!

to visit several times because they are too large.
a nice experience.
they could probably be enhanced even more.
a few more signs (or rather some signs because there are none) would be useful to guide the visit even for those who take the video guide.
It is a labyrinth so it would be useful to give some more explanation.
groups organized with a guide should have headphones so as not to disturb other visitors.
We paid 22 euros of ticket plus video guide each. However, the ticket only reads 16 euros.

Beautiful as always. I take advantage of the free Sunday, the first of the month.

It was a museum where there were few tourists and you could look around slowly! More sculptures than painting. It was amazing and it was really fun!
It was from the basement to the 3rd floor, and it was fairly spacious, so it took nearly 4 hours if I looked slowly.
On the way, I was able to overlook the Roman Forum from the balcony and it was very comfortable.
Large luggage such as backpacks must be stored in lockers. On the way, I was told that if I tried to go back to get my luggage, I couldn't return until I left. I think the locker room is in front of the ticket. Be careful not to forget anything.

The Capitoline Museums are one of the secondary attractions of Rome, only for fame, however, for the rest. They are an example of how Rome is a varied artistic reality, as a book of a world that no longer exists. The wolf is also exciting to admire.

Really gorgeous. The museum focuses on sculptures from the Greek and Roman periods, including the Dying Galata and the Capitoline Venus. The pictorial part is also well supplied; there are paintings by Caravaggio, among which Buona Ventura, and by Guercino, among which The Burial of Santa Petronilla.
Furthermore, the Capitoline Wolf, symbol of the birth of Rome, is kept here.
Absolutely unmissable.

Wonderful finds exhibited in a fantastic place. Too bad the poor cataloging and the preparation of staff

A beautiful museum, although it is worthwhile preparing for a visit - by reading a bit of its history.

A lot to see if you go with audio guide, it is worth taking into account that it can take a few hours before you have heard everything

I recommend the card for 5 euros for residents. Very beautifull. To see several times.

Each time it is a unique emotion to rediscover the drama of the dying Galata or the delicacy of the Spinario
And then the Capitoline Venus, the head of Medusa, Marforio, Caravaggio and again and again .... all in the unique setting of the Capitol

The museum is the custodian of an interesting part of the Roman Empire's artistic heritage, and preserves the imposing equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, once placed in Piazza Campidoglio. In addition to this, it is possible to find oneself in front of one of the symbols of Rome: the she-wolf, with Romulus and Remus, an Etruscan work. Part of the museum faces the imperial forums. What can I say, wonderful!

whatever the duration of your trip, they are really worth it!

The heart of the capital! Even the night is suggestive ...

So much to see and very interesting. Especially the original sculptures

The first museum of this type in the world with a lot of important works go there at least once in your life

Yes great, but I could not find that god forgot roof terrace.

The building in which it is located is partly the work of Michelangelo. An interesting gallery with a pair of high-quality CARAVANS, above all the painting with the zingar, which reads the hand of a naive young man who acknowledges his beauty does not notice that the gypsy steals his ring.

Beautiful! A place to go very calmly, without hurry to leave because it deserves, and must be seen very calmly, the beauty of every detail can not go unnoticed in the eyes.
Be sure to visit the second floor terrace which has fantastic views of the city of Rome, the cafe is not expensive given the location and the view you can enjoy. Top

Amazing experience in this museum (the oldest museum ever in the history) filled of unique pieces of arts from ancient Rome and Renaissance. This place absolutelly worth to be visited during your trip in Rome.

Big badly organized collections ... As usual we are in Italy. However, don't miss it!

Too bad there is no longer the map with the treasure hunt for children

Always fascinating. Only ... Great ... Too bad. A concert at 10 thousand decibels in the hall of Marcus Aurelius ... What centuries and centuries of atmospheric agents could not have done ... Excessive and out of place vibrations could do it. Concerts are fine ... But not so invasive instruments

Great and present vibrant initiative of history and Italian memory of the world

Loved this museum. The architecture is stunning and the pieces inside are well cared for. As a museum professional myself it was brilliant seeing people in their conservation gear in the museum, showing that active conservation is happening. The history is well explained and graphic panels excellent

This place is a must go. We had so much fun learning all the history and enjoying beautiful arts in here. And seeing the Lupa statue from high school textbook was such a dream came true.

The first museum to visit in Rome, noteworthy is the statuary collection and the bright room that houses the statue of Marcus Aurelius on horseback

The organization is at the top especially with regard to this period. The distances and safety measures are met with absolute criterion. The works of art are on display flawlessly although some are still to be restored. I would return.

Fine Museum with finds mainly from the nearby Forums - this is a must-see museum when in Rome. There are some queues, but not as big as in the Vatican museums or the Colosseum. Many inscriptions, a lot of beautiful sculptures, including parts of the colossal sculpture of Emperor Constantine. The museum - in fact the fist museum in the world, dating to about 300 years ago - is divided into two main buildings - the Palazzo dei Conservatori and the Palazzo Nuovo. The piazza in front is designed by Michelangelo, and is home to a a statue of Marcus Aurelius mounted on a horse.

Excellent collection of statues, sculptures, tombstones, busts and portraits in marble known figures of ancient Rome. Highlight for the fountain and statue of Marforio, The Venus Capitolina, the various statues in black and pink marble and the statues of the Amazon (attributed to Phidias) and the Moribund Galata.

I love this places. It has a lot of Roman artefacts such as coins, statues, frescoes, and mosaics.

The birth of the _Musei Capitolini_ dates back to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated to the Roman people a group of bronze statues (preserved until that time in the Laterano) that formed the initial nucleus of the collection. MC 2020 information brochure.
The museum presents 4 itineraries of your choice (self-guided visit):
The collections: 99 works, 2:50:00 approx. Long haul, olive green dot.
History and myth: 73, 1:50:00, medium route, Gray color.
Men and gods: 50, 1:30:00, short, red dot.
Weapons and power: 30, almost 1 hour, fast, ocher dot.
The system of rooms and numbered works makes it easier. Info available in ad hoc signage.

The magnificent sculpture collection of the Capitoline Museum is always worth a visit. Despite the constant presence of visitors in Rome, it is usually a bit quieter here. Especially worth seeing is the collection of panels with Latin inscriptions in the basement.

Large place and in hill. Pieces of history gathered here. Spend 1/2 hours. Take some photo.

One of the most beautiful places in Rome: inserted inside the complex of the Capitol, it houses works of rare artistic beauty. Nevertheless I give two stars because of the bad organization and file management. Those few times that museums are accessible to the public (perhaps with promotions) make them regret other activities. To remember, for example, only one employee in the queue for tickets with multiple doors closed.

Museum with sculptures, art gallery, remains of the temple of Jupiter. Direct entry with the Roma Pass card, without queues. It takes at least two hours to see it whole. I liked.

I expected something more. Deficient from the information point of view

If I could give a zero I would do immediately! The personnel is extremely rude especially Marco C. It would be a very nice experience but the guards totally screwed it for us!

For me it is a unique experience linked to the origin of my name deriving from the famous "Lupa". Very extensive and history plan. Recommended

it's the best!
There were people who were watching this from a place like a balcony while visiting the Roman Forum. I thought it would be good to see the whole thing from there.
After that, I visited the Capitoline Museum and relied on a man who was in the vicinity of the staircase who was lost in the hall.
When they were doing ugly English with each other, they seemed to say that it is better to go to see it because there is a place with a wonderful view. I was also asked to be Japanese.
When I went there, it was like a balcony overlooking the Roman Forum.
The museum was full of sculptures and bronze statues.
My favorite is the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius.

The Palazzo Senatorio, Palazzo dei Conservatori and Palazzo Nuovo, which host Capitoline Museum collections, are the oldest palaces in Italy. Located on Colina Capitolina, they occupy three sides of the market designed by Michelangelo, at the center of which can be admired the equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Part of the museum is the underground gallery linking the three palaces, crossing the basement of the market. The entrance to the museum is through the Palazzo dei Conservatori and the exit through Palazzo Nuovo. From Tabularium, located in Palazzo Senatorio, the panorama offered to the Roman Forum is impressive. Not to be missed.

Beautiful museum, however the museography and the signs inside the museum are not practical or optimal, I recommend following the map that they give you at the box office. Do not miss the view of the Roman forum accessed from the underground or the view from the museum's cafeteria on the top floor.

Beautiful museum, but there is a serious problem of orientation inside. I did not stop going around in circles.

Greatest museum! It was clean and with so much beautiful art that I forgot about the dirty streets that took me there. You definitely need more than 2 hours spent there; it took me almost a whole day to see it all. Also, the best cup of coffee I have ever had was at the bar from the top of the Capitoline Museum :)

Beautiful museum made even more attractive by the absence of crowds due to covid.

I was not very convinced. And I am very glad I was wrong. If you like sculpture, you will love it. Also, it is an architectural beauty inside and out.

It is worth it if you have time (and money) to spare. It did not drive us crazy although it contains important pieces, however the Caravaggio that I wanted to see was on loan ...

You will get 2 tickets when you pay because there are two buildings! Cool statues on 1st and 2nd floors, paintings on the 3rd. Takes about two hours to go through the whole place. In the basement there is a passage with old roman tablets that connects the two buildings. The museum is wheelchair accessable, elevators go to the 2nd and 3rd floors and a chairlift in one of the buildings going to the basement. If you appreciate artwork then you should come here.

Very beautiful exposition and no so busy as Vatican museums

We visited with the tablet.
Nothing to say about the richness and the enhancement of works of art. But the big black spot is the readability of the tour with or without an audioguide. We lost a lot of time looking for the works shown on the tablet ...
An interactive route and signs indicating the direction of visit would be a big plus. Some photos of the tour deserve to be redone to facilitate the identification of works.

To visit and revisit several times, for the unique atmosphere of this public museum, the oldest in the world and for the permanent and temporary exhibitions,

The stupidest counter in the world. You arrive at 10am and there are only a dozen people in front of you and two boxes to get the tickets ....
Half an hour later, there are still 10 people in front of you and an incessant ballet of people passing by you because they have reserved for groups and they are the same ticket offices! At the end of an hour you end up getting the precious sesame, you come out by the same narrow door or those who want to enter are gathering! There, you still have to go to the other queue to go under the security gantry or three hundred teens are already there waiting (these same groups that passed in front of you in the other queue !!!)
The dumbest organization in the world
I would almost forget the exceptional quality of this museum, indisputable moreover.

Fantastic, not to be missed. Did you know that the wolf with the twins below is not the true symbol of Rome?

Historical Museum of Rome, where you can find sculptures, paintings and vessels from the Etruscans, through the splendor of Rome as well as the Middle Ages.

It is totally worth visiting. Recommended to rent an audio guide to enjoy it with some basic explanations. Do not hesitate to invest a couple of hours to admire all the material they have.

Here you will find sculptures that will nourish your soul and excite you. Also recommended with children (about an hour to see the most exciting pieces). Book tickets online a few months prim to avoid the queue and get full of energy.

I thought the exhibits were more expensive than other museums, but about three works were quite worthwhile.

Magnificent sculptures in impressive buildings. From the tabularium you have a great view of the Roman Forum.

A great museum with very interesting pieces. From an area of the museum you can see this image, the Forum, the best of all is that if you're there at the end of the day you can see the Forum without people, a perfect image!

It's like a maze because of its size, so I got lost in spite of the directions, but overall a place full of culture, art and beauty.

Inside beautiful statues and entrance to 2 euros for Paris residents.

Splendid the herms and the preserved statues, so numerous as to be impossible to admire them all in one day. Imposing is the statue of Constantine, of the god Oceano, together with the marvelous niche of Egyptian sculpture. The pictorial works triumph with Caravaggio and the Cavalier d'Arpino (the Sala degli Orazi and Curiazi). Opened in 1734, it is probably the first museum in the world, conceived as a place of conservation of cultural heritage. An impressive presence of works of art from the monarchic age of Ancient Rome to the modern age (Guido Reni). In the heart of the Museum is the Temple of Jupiter still present, the Capitoline Wolf, the underground passage to the Tabularium, the archive of the Roman Empire. The view over the Roman Forum at sunset takes your breath away.

Museums with many sections. An ideal path in beauty.

In an amazing spot right near the forum and some of the most beautiful buildings. There's way too much to see here to really capture and learn about it all, but after a while it really starts to blend together. I'd recommend going if there are specific things you want to see. Otherwise, the Vatican Museums are essentially an even bigger and better place to go for the same type of preserved sculptures, Frescos, etc.

The highlight for me.was the view of the forum and there were some great pieces, too!

Lovely exhibition beautiful rooms but hard to find, eg to the elevator and the cafeteria.
