Galleria Doria Pamphilj

One of the most impressive and immersive museums I have visited. The (free) audio tour is a great addition. One of the descendants from the family gives you a voice over throughout the palace and explains the different rooms and interesting stuff. We only visited this museum in Rome, but it was the best decision! The art gallery is also super cool and diverse.

My favourite gallery in Rome so far. There were very few people, so I was able to explore freely. One thing which made the whole experience even better is a free audio guide you get at the entrance, I would definitely recommend using it to learn more about the Pamphilj family, the gallery rooms and exhibitions. The Caravaggio paintings alone make this place worth a visit.

Doria Pamphilj is a splendid 15th-century palace with 17th-century Baroque makeover that is located along Via del Corso. Here you can visit the interior of the palace which is still owned by the Doria Pamphilj today and marvel at centuries old art collection housed within, a showcase of European masterpieces, many by Old Masters such as Peter Brueghel the Elder and other Flemish masters along with Italian greats including, Caravaggio, Titan, Raphael and Bernini. There is important works by Velazquez on display as well. The palace and art collection can be visited from 9am to 7pm daily (closed on Wednesdays). Entry is now €16 per person but comes with audio guide with commentary by Prince Jonathan Doria-Pamphilj who provides background regarding the palace, relevant family histories and information regarding some of the highlight masterpieces on display. All together, it is a very good art and museum experience that can be completed in around 2 hours for those interested in a leisurely visit.

A hidden gem of an art gallery and about a 10-15min walk away from Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona. Unlike the more famous galleries in Rome, this one had no crowds or lineups, so I spent 3 very happy hours here roaming around in peace and marvelling at the art work and architecture and interior design sculptures in this former private home/palazzo. There are ancient Roman sculptures to early medieval religious art to Caravaggio paintings and Bernini sculptures and early 20th century art! And the audioguide that came with the ticket was most detailed and excellent and narrated by a present-day member of the Pamphilj family. Highly recommend visiting this place!

Great museum. It doesn’t feel very big because it’s only a couple rooms but the sheer volume of art that is placed on the walls probably rivals the amount of art you see at larger museums. I bought online skip the line tickets and there was no line to skip so if you’re not going in a busy time, don’t bother with that. I would definitely still buy tickets online. Great museum, great history, loved the free audio tour.
