Musei Capitolini Review

What more to say than the fact that you find the famous Roman she-wolf ...... after the Vatican museums surely you can not not see them ........ amazing works ...

Wonderful museums, photography is allowed. Most rooms are dehumidified but rarely air conditioned. On the roof there is a wonderful cafe and view.

Too many sculptures. Not enough ancient military tech

One of the oldest museums in the world. Fantastic collection, beautiful picture gallery

There are many great museums in Rome but it was my favourite.

Very educational and full of information and antiquities

Great variety of art objects. Highly recommended to visit

It is not worth spending so much money per work that they are not even the most outstanding. Very small and unimportant.

To get lost for hours, there is so much to see and so wonderful, that there is a lack of time, in addition to some galleries that go under the square you can access the two Palacios and the Tabularium, from which you can see the whole Forum in a spectacular way .

Wonderful museum for the wealth of finds and also for the museum set-up.
It is essential to visit it to have a knowledge of the grandeur of the art of Rome. It is not possible to make a list of the most beautiful works, but certainly one cannot ignore the Marcus Aurelius, the Capitoline Venus and the dying Galata.
The art gallery is also very rich with works by Caravaggio, Guercino and many others.

There is no need for comments among the best in the world

A visit to the Capitoline Museums is essential to see the original sculptures that adorned Rome. Also impressive inside the building are the ancient monumental arches, with a beautiful view of the Roman Forum from above. They are made up of two buildings, which are connected underground.

If you love art and history this is a must in Rome! There is so much art here from ancient Rome/Greece. I spent about 2 hours here and someone could easily spend more if they want to look at everything more in depth.

Worth the visit. I find it to be much better quality and more educational than the vatican museums. The path around isn't always clear as I found myself having to go back for bits I missed.

Very interesting museum, for a careful visit it takes at least 3 hours

Poor signage inside. Gave up trying to find certain artefacts

A number of stratospheric classical works in two very beautiful buildings. Furthermore, the museum itinerary is very pleasant with very detailed explanatory labels. I will be back!

The museum is quite large with many interesting pieces about the history of Rome and beyond, including some Greek cases and many busts. Inside there are also many remains of Roman statues. The visit was pleasant, even if a bit tiring, but the effort was completely repaid. Recommended.

Art, history, a marvel. Then listen, young artists beautiful musicians, I refer to the night of museums.

It is one of the most beautiful museums I have visited. Well maintained and cared for. The guardians present in the rooms and the works to leave you breathless.

It's definitely worth a visit. Inside, a collection of paintings, among others Tycjan Rubens and Caravaggio and sculptures m.in. the famous Capitoline Wolf, Capitoline Venus, Dying Gal, Amor and Psyche. Entry at Roma Pass, S.U.P.E.R ticket or on a regular ticket at the ticket office. First you have to go through the Security check and then all the items have to be left in the special lockers at the entrance. There are elevators and toilets. The museum is located in 2 buildings of the Palazzo dei Conservatori (there are cash registers and lockers for things) and Palazzo Nuovo connected by an underground passage - Tabularium.

Magnificent place full of stories from Rome and Italy.

The museum is the place where you can listen to the artistic, historical, cultural and political narratives of a country. The Capitolini, born in 1734, were the first in the world to be usable also by the public and not only by patrons, aristocrats or collections that considered the museum institution as a "great chamber of treasures". Inside, you can find both a large collection of sculptures, but also the wing of the Art Gallery. Sites in Piazza del Campidoglio, between the Palazzo dei Conservatori and Palazzo Nuovo. You can start your visit from the foundations, passing through the wide, luminous and architecturally well-designed room containing the original Marco Aurelio a Cavallo. The Capitoline Museums are one of the cultural hearts of Rome and must be a must for tourists and Romans.

Absolute great pieces of art from many time periods. Not busy at all. Spend 2-3 hours here and haven't explored everything. Lots of information is provided, audio tour is also high quality.

A thousand times better than the museums of the Vatican, in my opinion

Amazing collection. Some confusion in locating restrooms due to poor signaling. Building should be maintained better

Beautiful museum of Roman history. There is a panoramic terrace where you can enjoy a beautiful view of Rome

Beautiful buildings and magical atmosphere between pieces of Italian history. Extraordinary experience. A journey in the culture absolutely guaranteed! Recommended to visit!

wonderful museum that keeps many of the ancient treasures of Rome. It is a magnificent building and has been located since 1471, when Sixtus IV made an important contribution to valuable objects. It is the main civic museum in Rome. This should be evaluated when choosing museums to visit.

One of the best museums in Rome. The artworks are impressive. The only complaint, is the bad interior signage

It is a museum of the history and ancient art of Rome and that's enough

Just great A must stop for anyone who loves Rome's art, above all classic sculptures

Many historical things and icons, unfortunately, badly signposted with information, would be interesting to know what you are right now

Love this museum. The perfect sized collection if you have small children with you, and has a stunning view of the Forum.

Many works of great historical and artistic richness, especially statues. Too bad there are no more explanations or indications visible in the rooms.

mpressive collection of art. Lots of pieces from the nearby forum is displayed here. A bit too big and overwhelming. I wish the path to exit was marked more clearly.

On the content, nothing to complain. But now the great museums must be able to give something also in terms of relaxation. And the terrace on Rome (who has a similar panorama ?!) is badly managed. Also the video guide, too complicated. The material of the shop is scarce and unattractive.

Extremely rich museum with artwork - statue and paintings. I think it is the first museum in the world open to ordinary people. Although it looks small, you have to spend at least 3 hours to look at it.

Museum Capitolini
One of the seven hills of Roman origin, Capitolino, is Piazza del Campidoglio, designed by Michelangelo.
The square is surrounded by three palaces: the Palazzo del Senatorio, which serves as the Roman city hall, on the front, the Palazzo dei Conservatori on the right, and Palazzo Nuovo on the left. .
The Capitoline Museum (Musei Capitolini) is a combination of Palazzo Nuovo and Palazzo dei Conservatori, both connected underground.
The world's oldest national museum with the best original Greek and Roman sculptures, as well as Renaissance and Baroque art.
The best view of the Foro Romano from Palazzo Nuovo.

The Museum Capitolini is famous for its ancient sculptures collected by the popes of the 15th and 18th centuries.
Representative works of the museum include the statues of Romulus and Remus eating the wolf's milk, Colossus of Emperor Constantine in 324, Venus of Capitoline, Markus Aurelius Bronze Horse, and Bernini's Medusa.
Palazzo Nuovo exhibits statues and sarcophagus, which mainly recreated Greek masterpieces in Roman times.
The gallery in Palazzo dei Conservatori also displays paintings of 16th-17th-century Renaissance and Baroque painters such as Veronese, Guercino, Tintoretto and Caravaggio.

Beautiful architecture, beautiful monuments, the administrative center of Rome near Piazza Venezia and the Vittoriano Museum. Not far from here there are the Imperial Forums, many tourists, you can breathe an air of Roman history ...

Very good idea to open at night, the massification of people is much smaller and you can enjoy the museum

The splendor of Rome here breathes the Rome of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius

we enjoyed the museums, but we had an unpleasant experience with a lady of the staff who was unnecessarily rude to us when we went through security to get inside. I'm thinking that maybe she had a bad day or something else irritated her, which i am sorry for and is understandable, but it still left us with a bad taste and it was not the best way to start our visit! If it wasn't for that encounter, I would have definitely left 5 stars

All the charm of ancient Rome in a functional and elegant setting. The arrangement of the original statue of Marcus Aurelius in the exedra is a perfect example of how the ancient can be exposed in a modern way. The explanatory panels of rooms and works are very good. They allow a conscious visit even without renting the audio guide. From Etruscan ceramics to imperial statues through an interesting numismatic section and another on engravings on hard stones, these museums offer many ideas. The Caffarelli terrace panorama where there is a cafeteria is enchanting. I 'tasted' it at sunset.

Was a great museum. The staff was very nice and helpful. My friend was with an electric wheelchair and the staff let us enter from the backdoor and guided us during our visit.

Very nice, museum full of history. Magnificent ceilings and frescoes, as well as the priceless works and finds within it. Mandatory stop for those visiting the eternal city. Council

An immense area crammed with history, art and masterpieces.

They didn't particularly impress me. I personally found it very disorganized and ill-disposed. The view from the terrace is well worth the effort.

A beautiful museum where you can get lost sometimes. The lower area alone should not be missed because of the great view of a part of the Roman Forum.
Generally, the whole museum is a bit nested, please be careful that you do not miss anything. A combination ticket is recommended. Buying tickets online is easy and fast.

Fantastic museum. One of the best in Rome. Great statues from antiquity onward. Well displayed. Well kept. Lots of famous artwork. Cool even on a hot day. Not crowded. Fabulous view over Forum Romanum.

We were a group of about 40 people, we ate well in relation to the price paid, the only sore that we were too many people for the space available, because there were other tables besides us and the place is not very large

Beautiful museum, spectacular view from the terrace. Excellent breakfast.

Everything from your college art history textbook comes to spectacular life.

Intetesting museum with some great artifacts. Not to be missed

A top national and international museums, located in one of the most beautiful and most striking in the world, in a building where history, and the 'archeology, is literally one step, that is, the senate palace built directly on pre-existing Roman ruins !!

The works on display are very beautiful and deserves 4 stars just for this. I don't give them 5 because the conception of the museum is old. Descriptive card too long and badly put together, works too crowded, in short, the museum is old. But they are always the Capitoline Museums

It's worth visiting if you like art. However, there are other famous museums in Rome, so if you have a short stay, you should give priority to others.

Extraordinary collection of ancient sculptures in a magnificent setting, the art gallery is also beautiful, although in my opinion it does not live up to the first (apart from the 2 Caravaggio, a stratospheric Guercino altarpiece and 1 Titian).
You are in Rome: are they worth a visit, are you not in Rome and do you have a free day? Get on the first train and go to visit them.

Museums highly recommended with a beautiful art gallery with paintings by Caravaggio, Rubens, Guercino, etc. etc.

What can I say, I've always lived in Rome and yet I had never set foot there.
On the occasion of the night of the museums, I picked up my camera and went to discover this part of history.
I didn't know anything about it, so I lined up and entered after about half an hour of waiting (lots of people in these extraordinary openings).
At the metal detector entrance, a must now, and then you enter the courtyard: marvel in front of the sculptures, including some remains of a colossal statue of Constantine found in the imperial forums.
Thus you enter the Palazzo dei Conservatori, and the beauty is just that: you will admire the various "layers" of construction of the same, from the most recent part to the oldest (going down inside), having however passed first in the various upper rooms, from which you can also admire a particular view of the eternal city.
Here you will also find the original bronze statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius: the one in Piazza del Campidoglio is in fact only a recent copy, as it was undergoing corrosion and was therefore replaced at the end of the last century.
The visit then continues in the tunnel that connects, passing under the Piazza del Campidoglio, the Palazzo dei Conservatori to the Palazzo Nuovo which, as the name implies, is more recent: but the beauty is that crossing the corridor, in the middle of it, you will find a staircase on your right ... go up it and ... you will reach the most fascinating PANORAMA of the Imperial Forums, with the Colosseum in the background. From this corridor you can also see the various "layers" on which the Palazzo dei Conservatori was built, starting from the Roman era.
After the corridor, where you can admire ancient epigraphs, you will go up to the Palazzo Nuovo and continue to the exit, in another courtyard where the statue of Marforio, river divinity, will greet you in an austere way.

Museum to visit with time, visit the threes buildings with different levels is no easy in couple of hours. Recommendable 100%

I had the opportunity to visit the Capitoline museums, on the Capitol and it was a fantastic experience.
I recommend a lot.

This is not the usual review the museum, which incidentally I visited and found wonderful, but on an episode that makes me continue to hope in mankind.
My wife Roma lost their phone, after locking it and now in despair knowing might recover, after a few hours I got a call from Mr Claudio, Sworn Guard in the Capitoline Museums, as an American tourist having found the phone he had handed him over to the museum guard service.
I will have no way to do so personally, so I want to thank the stranger tourists with rare honesty has handed back the phone and Mr Claudio who has worked hard to find me.
In this somewhat shabby world it seems only right to point out episodes which, however trivial, are exceptional for me.
Thanks again to both of you.

Another fascinating square in Rome! Listen to the sound of the water of the majestic fountains and how to listen to music! I love Rome!

Capitoline Museums very beautiful and worth seeing !! The only flaw, the fact that there is written nothing under each statue but you have to look for the name on the legend at the entrance of the various rooms

It is also worthwhile to admire the Spinario closely. But also the original Marco Aurelio (in its splendid contemporary position) or the Capitoline Wolf, without forgetting the extraordinary works of art of the following centuries, such as the famous Caravaggio kept by the museum. I also recommend the visit for the unique view of the forum from the Tabularium. Not to be missed!

Lovely museum with slot to offer, also not a real touristy place so you can have some peace and quiet

The Capitoline Museums are a treasure chest unknown to most. go there

This museum was pretty dull and boring, and hard to find your way around. There were probably better ways we could have spent our time.

A whole day is not enough to visit this Museum. It goes from the Roman Empire before Christ to the Renaissance ... Excellent estate! To not lose...
