The Ceiling of this place puts the Vatican, Pitti Palace and every other landmark I have been in to shame! it was absolutely insane the level of ornate detail into this ceiling mural, the photo here might give you an idea but I was standing there for almost 30 minutes with a very sore neck in awe of this thing. Wow... just wow.…

This is, in my view, one of the best museums/galleries in all of Rome. It is in itself a beautiful building and an example of striking architecture, expertly crafted details, fine views over the park, and glorious spaces full of light, drama, and inspiration. There are so many treausres here that I recommend the vistor make some time to research first, see those masterpieces he/she wishes to spend time admiring, then wander aimlessly afterwards....it is a wonderful pleasure to spend time here. My absolute favourite sculpture is the Rape of Proserpina, for it's delicate and gravity-defying "lightness", as well as the emotion it invokes. His hand, pressed deeply into the soft flesh of her upper thigh, brings this hard white stone to life. It is incredible. Also notable, are the Apollo and Daphne (also Bernini), Hermaphroditus (Bernini), Davis (Bernini), and Venus Victrix (Canova).…

The woman at the ticket office with the glasses was very rude. There were no tickets left for the day that I came and that was absolutely fine of course, it can happen. But she seemed very grumpy and cut me off immediately when I came up to her to ask if there were still tickets available, and she was extremely snappy and rude during the quick conversation we had, even though I remained very polite (because what reason is there to not be polite during a conversation like this?) I left very surprised. I hope the management will read this and ask her improve her manners towards prospective visitors.…

Absolutely stunning, there's that much to see, appreciate and although i love places like this some can be too big, take too long to get around you get culture fatigue but this was spot on. Plenty to see with lots of various exhibits. No bags allowed, you have to deposit them in a hut along the path and also when we visited it was online booking only, presumeably because of covid. I know places try their best but making everyone queue outside so they can stagger entries seems a good idea but in 30 degrees heat wasn't great and when everyone got inside first thing they did was go to the toilet so they ended up with mass congregation anyway. Brilliant place.…
