Galleria Borghese

I found my visit to this Gallery overwhelming due to the sheer volume of art being displayed not only in the building but the building itself. I think that even 1/2 of the art could be removed and you would still have a very satisfying experience.

The second floor is closed. My impression is that many visitors find the first floor the strongest. The Bernini sculptures are fabulous.

Amen. I would have paid a full ticket fee just to see those!
Do take time to take in the details of the building itself though? Especially, the ceilings and trompe l'oeil decoration in some of the rooms are just nuts. If you have the time to run over to Palazzo Barberini to see the paintings, I'd do it; that €5 ticket price is a bargain.

I am assuming your trip is sometime before Nov. 1? or so?

We loved the Borghese Gallery and the walk through the park before and after. The sculptures and paintings are absolutely incredible! I consider it a must-see!

When is it expected to back to normal?

Thank you everyone for all the helpful info!
After all that, I think the only date we can go is sold out! Sigh...will keep looking however.

Happy New Year
I Hope everyone is planning a wonderful trip for this new year.
Does anyone know if and or when the 2nd floor of the Galleria Borghese will reopen?
Thank you

If I just saw the Bernini sculptures in the Borghese it would be worth it, they are amazing!
