Musei Capitolini Review

Very good all-in-all. Navigation inside the museum is unclear & even confusing. I bet people end up crawling around in circles whenever there's high season.

An island in the center of Rome, elevated above the city, a magical box of treasures

Lovely place and not crowded. So much Roman history

I recommend it, emblematic and important paintings.

Made the Mic and visited the Capitoline museums really a show

It is very worth it, it is a must if you are in Rome! To better understand the entire museum and the works, it is advisable to take the guided tour.

Fantastic! Even richer than expected. Wonderful view of the Imperial Forums

Wonderful place!
Terrible flaw for Sunday, March 3 .... most of the BATHS CLOSED and the only one working. WITH CODES IMPOSSIBLE.

Incredible collection. inside there is a gazebo area overlooking the very beautiful ruins. Super easy access by foot. Here you go from one place to another and when you realize it has traveled a good distance without noticing and observing various sights along the way.

Museum very expensive. He owns objects of art very known and to see.
There is a lack of information and explanations about the works, and the friendliness of the staff is not the best.
The caffeteria is correct and has a nice panoramic terrace.

Superb and free with the Roma Pass. You can see a multitude of paintings and statues and especially, the famous suckling wolf Romulus and Remus!
To do :)

Spectacular view, very good food in the terrace restaurant overlooking the City. A pleasure

Underrated museums that are far superior to several others I can think of

Some pieces are fabulous, others Roman or later copies of Greek works. Exhaustive layout even if personally I prefer the explanation of the works at the same rather than at the beginning of the room.
Also suggestive is the view of the forum from the tabularia.

One of the best museums in Rome. Top quality collection of antiquities spread over two buildings. Palazzo Nuevo is exceptionally decorated and holds some of the most iconic works like the dying Gaul.
The picture gallery is not of the highest quality as the antiquities but does hold some masterpieces such as by carravaggio.

Unmissable the equestrian statue of Marco Aurelio, and "The wounded Gaul" among so many preserved beauties that were not pillaged by the church

Bellissimi!! Con reperti storici ed archeologici stupendi. Da visitare assolutamente.

Beautiful the only flaw there are tourist guides included in the ticket

The museum is situated in a nice building where it's very easy to get lost. I would advise you to get a tour or bring a relative or friend that knows a lot about ancient Rome.

Splendid municipal museums, home to Marcus Aurelius, Commodus and other Roman emperors, philosophers and gods. A must-see is the dying Galata who recently returned from Washington. The art gallery is not very large but collects masterpieces by Caravaggio and other Renaissance painters
Recommended place. You can request the card to visit the municipal museums for free at a cost of 5 euros.

A formidable square ... place where I got married ... caput mundi

A rich, valuable exhibition - you can visit them for hours.

There's lots to see here and it should be a really educational experience. The problem is the very poor descriptions on the exhibits and lack of guided tours. The exhibits are badly labelled with complicated, overly technical language which assumes the reader is already an expert in Roman history. They don't have any guided tours, but obviously should.
Despite Covid, and few visitors, the ticketing staff still manage to make you feel unwelcome. And at 15 euro per ticket, this isn't a cheap experience.

Essential visit, without queues in February, it is advisable to buy the Roma Pass upon arrival. It can be purchased at the airport itself. Public transport included and tickets included.

It is worth coming for (1) the original sculpture of the Capitoline She-Wolf (2) many paintings and murals on the subject of the Capitoline She-Wolf and (3) paintings depicting ancient Rome - they are small, do not miss!

So many things to see, great views of Rome from the windows. It took us more than 2 hours calmly.

Great. A little expensive (16 / pers) but a lot of things to see. Well plan 2h30-3h of visit.

You don't want to miss this museum. It is just gorgeous, and so interesting to see the archaeological site also. There are two buildings and to get to other building, you have to go through the underground.

Interesting museum in the center of Rome, I liked it highly.

Very large collection of Roman finds that came to light during the excavations of the adjacent forum. suggestive the room entirely dedicated to the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius which was located in front of the Michelangelo square and the walls of the temple of Jupiter visible in the same room.

The museum has many levels, but is very handicapped accessable...but the museum badly needs self guided audio like the Royal Palace in Amsterdam for example

In any other place in the world alone would be 100 museums. Too bad the right marketing is not done as in other western museums.

Extraordinary the greek-Roman section is spectacular, the rich gallery of treasures .. a must to enter the heart of Rome

Wonderful museum of very high value where also the museum organization is remarkable; all Italian art is best represented; large amount of exhibits; you can not imagine being in Rome and not seeing it

Rome is definitely my city. Capitolino hill was the religious center of ancient Rome. Now the Capitolini museums are located in the palaces built by Michelangelo, and my favorite sculpture is Marforio. If you go to the museum, I suggest you take a museum settlement plan and visit it. It is a very large museum connected to the other building by underpass.

Interesting statues and figures unfortunately with too little information content.
Most statues have not even bothered to put a sign next to it, so you know what you are looking at ...
I'm very disappointed

Imperable witness to the full history of endless Art.

Among the must-see museums in Rome. It is accessed from the majestic Piazza del Campidoglio, the museums are divided into two palaces: the new palace and the conservatories palace. The two buildings are connected by a corridor which offers a beautiful view of the imperial forums.
Among the most extraordinary works:
-the Marforio
- fragments of the colossal statue of Constantine
-the Capitoline Venus
-the dying Galata
-Marco Aurelio on horseback
-Romolo and Remo

Very interesting museum, beautiful works, free of charge, only 6 euros for the audio guide, it is not mandatory.

Art, history, beauty in a unique and unmissable environment.

The building is marvelous. Although the curators didn't do a good job. Some of the paintings are incredible.

Nice museum! However, a bit naughty set the turn that we had to enter in the halls, so we go back. Of course everything was in Italian! No English notes to understand.

Superb collection of statues, paintings, archaeological and ceramic finds; it took me 4 hours to see it in peace.
Superb panoramic terrace that overlooks the Roman Forums One criticism I can make is that in the museum there was no signposted route and despite having purchased, with a supplement of 6 euros, the video guide supplied with the tablet did not understand where to go, in fact I was going out without having seen a portion of the exhibition, fortunately at the exit I found an employee who suggested that I return. Museums I've seen so many of them all over the world I think this is the worst because it makes the tourist feel like an idiot.

Great museum. I found it by chance and I didn t regret exploring. Amazing paintings, sculptures and artifacts. Also there is a great restaurant at the top

Beautiful! Plan to spend a couple of hours here. So much to see. Don't miss the views of Roman Forum!

To visit like everything else in this beautiful city

Dating from 1471, the Capitoline Museums are the oldest public museums in the world. Its collection of classic sculptures is one of the finest in Italy, including crowds such as the iconic Capitoline Magnifier (Capitoline Wolf), a sculpture of Romulus and Remus under a wolf, and the Galata Morente (Death Gaul), a moving depiction of a dying Gallic warrior There is also a formidable image gallery featuring masterpieces by artists such as Titian, Tintoretto, Rubens, and Caravaggio.
Ticket prices rise when there is a temporary exposure.
The museum entrance is at the Palazzo dei Conservatori, where you will find the original core of the sculpture collection on the first floor and the Pinacoteca (picture gallery) on the second floor.
Before going upstairs, take a moment to admire the ancient masonry strewn across the ground floor patio, especially a gigantic head, hands, and feet. They all come from a 12-meter-tall statue of Constantine that was originally located in the Massenzio Basilica in the Roman Forum.
Of the sculpture on the first floor, the Etruscan Lupa Capitolina is the most famous. Donated to the Roman people by Pope Sixtus IV, the bronze wolf of the 5th century BC. C. is on its lactation rooms, which were added in 1471. Other highlights include the Spinario, a delicate bronze of a boy from the 1st century BC. C. who pulls a thorn from his foot, and the Medusa of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Also on this floor, in the modern Esedra di Marco Aurelio, is the original of the equestrian statue of Marco Aurelio found in Piazza del Campidoglio.
Above, the collection of museum paintings, mainly Italian works of works from the 16th and 17th centuries. Each room houses masterpieces, but two stand out: the Sala Pietro da Cortona, which features the famous depiction of Pietro da Cortona del Ratto delle sabine and the Sala Santa Petronella, named for the enormous Guercino canvas, Seppellimento di Santa Petronilla (The Burial of Santa Petronila). This room also features two important works by Caravaggio: La buona ventura (The Fortune Teller, 1595), which shows a gypsy who pretends to read the hand of a young man but who actually steals his ring; and San Giovanni Battista (Saint John the Baptist, 1602), an unusual nude representation of the young New Testament saint with a ram.
A tunnel connects the Palazzo dei Conservatori with the Palazzo Nuovo across the square through the Tabularium, the central archive of ancient Rome, below the Palazzo Senatorio.
Palazzo Nuovo contains some impressive sculptures. Chief among them is Galata Morente, a Roman copy of a 3rd century BC Greek original that poignantly depicts the anguish of a dying Gallic warrior. Another magnificent figurative piece is the Venere Capitolina (Venus Capitoline), a sensual but demure representation of the naked goddess.

Amazing and well worth the time and weather to venture up there!

The exhibitions are well maintained and even the various rooms, with few exceptions, are well maintained. Unfortunately, some caretakers are struck by boredom and fight it by watching videos on cell phones, even at More

A world class museum, but you queue twenty minutes just to collect reserved tickets. This hasn't been thought through.

What a great collection of sculptures and artifacts. The audio tour was nice, but it doesn't have recordings for every exhibit. A great view from the balcony of The Forum.

The museum is great, a real wonder.
It is better to have a guide.
We were not helped by the tablet and audio guide.

I think 16th-18th century statues are better. The statues here are old and damaged during the Roman period ...

A magnificent and unique place in the center of Rome on Capitol Hill! The museum is worth getting to see the masterpieces of ancient Roman art. Entrance costs 6 euros, for additional exhibitions a little more. At the entrance there is security and you need to go through a safety ramp. Inside there is an elevator and special ramps
for invalids. Outside there is an observation deck overlooking the Roman Forum and the Colosseum.

Interesting
A jump into the past
Of ancient Rome

Very interesting collection, kind staff. Next bathrooms and cafeteria

well-maintained museum! Very beautiful ! the honest admission price 15,00

Superb collection and excellent curation with professional lighting design that allows the viewer to fully appreciate the artworks- a rarity in Italian museums.

Fantastic place where everything speaks of ancient Roman history.

Amazing, loved the art and the view on the Roman forum!

There are too many objects displayed with too long descriptions or no description at all !!!!!
Generally i did not enjoyed it that much. The exterior of musuam is much more interesting to explore.
However, the famous sculptures such as Venus belvedere, dying gladiator, and aquestrian marcus aurelius are displayed there.

Quite a large collection of artworks they have there. Definitely worth spending an hour or two there.

The cafeteria puts some panini that lives up to its name because they are a loaf of bread with 3 slices of tomato. The rest of the ingredients are bresaola, tuna, or cheese is purely symbolic

. Amazing Collections
. Days worth of photography cannot give complete satisfaction
. Taking the help of a guide is probable
. Read & Prepare well before the visit, as too many points will confuse you later

I live in Rome for the third time I visit museums, a wonderful place

The museum clearly offers a wide plethora of artefacts representing a lot of history, however I do think it is a shame with this museum that some things in there are not explained, therefore, you don't know what it is you're looking at, and where there is a description for what something is, it is written in rather complex English which can make the text quite cumbersome to read, even for an English person!

It is a great museum. Also, Most staffs are sitting and playing with their cellphones. I'm not sure if they're guarding the places but I think it is a nice job to have.
