The Corsini Gallery - The National Gallery of Ancient Art in

About this experience

The Corsini Gallery is a museum in Rome housing one of the city's most significant collections of ancient art, displayed across the rooms of the 18th-century Palazzo Corsini. Built on the Janiculum Hill and redesigned in the 1730s for Cardinal Neri Corsini, the building passed to the Italian state in 1883 and has since formed part of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica. The collection spans paintings, sculptures, and decorative works from the 13th to the 18th century, with holdings that include works attributed to Caravaggio, Rubens, Van Dyck, and Guido Reni. Visitors move through a sequence of furnished period rooms, each presenting works in the context of an aristocratic Roman residence rather than a conventional gallery hang. The collection is particularly strong in Baroque painting and includes drawings, coins, and applied arts alongside the main picture galleries. For those planning a broader visit, Rome attractions in the surrounding area include the Botanical Garden, which occupies the former Villa Corsini grounds. Entry covers access to all permanent collection rooms, and tickets are available for individual visits or as part of combined museum passes.
