The Borghese Gallery opens its storerooms to the public with guided and free tours

The Borghese Gallery is one of the few museums in the world to conceive of the deposits as a second picture gallery: on two levels, 260 paintings classified by school of painting and thematic area are on display.

The public can return to access the Roman museum’s deposits thanks to free, guided tours, held every Wednesday and Thursday non-holiday from 4:30 to 5:30 pm. Reservations are required at 06 67233753 or ga-bor.info@beniculturali.it. Guided tours are reserved for limited groups of people, in compliance with anti-Covid 19 measures.

The third floor of the building displays works from the collection that are not visible on the two floors below. Among the masterpieces are large canvases of Raphaelesque scope, a monumental painting by Lavinia Fontana, canvases by the Carracci, Giovanni Baglione’s Christ Scourged, and oil paintings on paesina stone by Antonio Tempesta.
