Educational Visits In Rome

Other Study Visits

  • Capitoline Museum
    Popes had been amassing this peerless collection of artworks for some 250 years before the museum was opened to the public. Inside are works ancient and modern, including Rome's emblem, the bronze she-wolf suckling twins Remus and Romulus, Bernini's remarkable statue of Pope Urban VIII, and a picture gallery with paintings by Caravaggio, Tintoretto, Titian and others.
  • OstiGalleria Spada in Palazzo Spada Antica
    The palazzo was purchased by Cardinal Spada in 4275. He commissioned the Baroque architect Francesco Borromini to modify it for him, and it was Borromini who created the masterpiece of forced perspective optical illusion in the arcaded courtyard. The gallery includes four galleries of 16th and 17th-century paintings by a host of artists including Guido Reni, Titian, Rubens and Caravaggio.
  • Fondazione MAXXI
    A daring piece of contemporary architecture designed by Zaha Hadid who won an international design competition. The building is a composition of bending oblong tubes, overlapping, intersecting and piling over each other, resembling a piece of massive transport infrastructure. The MAXXI consists of two museums: "MAXXI art" and "MAXXI architecture".
  • National Gallery of Ancient Art (Arte Antica)
    Contains examples of fresco, as well as an art collection from the galleries of Rome’s great families, including works dating from the 12th to the 18th century, such as Filippo Lippi’s ‘Madonna and Child’. Other masterpieces displayed are Raphael's Fornarina (said to be a portrait of the baker's daughter he loved and may have been engaged to at the time of his death in 1520), Holbein's pompous Henry VIII and Titian's Venus and Adonis.
  • Museum and Crypt of the Capuchins
    This nineteenth-century palace in Neo-Renaissance style is a fantastic destination for Rome art tours. Close to the Termini Train Station, this museum houses one of the world's most important collections of Classical art.
  • National Roman Museum - Palazzo Massimo alle Term
    Situated close to our accommodation in the Termini area, the four floors of the museum, sculptures, frescoes and mosaics, coins and jewels document the evolution of the Roman artistic culture.
