Palazzo Barberini and the Galleria Corsini: a journey into the splendor of the Baroque era

The Palazzo Barberini and the Galleria Corsini are among the most important art museums in Rome and offer visitors a rich collection of paintings, sculptures and other works of art. 

Palazzo Barberini, built in the 17th century, is an outstanding example of Roman Baroque and houses an impressive art collection. The building itself is a work of art, designed by important architects such as Carlo Maderno and Francesco Borromini. Inside the palace, visitors can admire masterpieces by artists such as Raphael, Caravaggio, Titian and Holbein. Particularly famous is the painting "The Ecstasy of St Theresa" by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, which is one of the museum's main attractions.

The Galleria Corsini is located in another magnificent palace, the Palazzo Corsini, which was built in the 18th century. This museum houses a collection of mainly Italian works of art, including paintings by Guido Reni, Rubens, Van Dyck and other important Renaissance and Baroque artists. The palace itself is a jewel of Roman architecture and provides an impressive setting for the works of art.

A particular advantage for visitors is that the ticket for the Palazzo Barberini also includes entry to the Galleria Corsini, allowing you to experience both collections in one visit. Both museums are rich in history and offer a deep insight into the development of Italian art across different eras.
