Night openings kick off at maxi exhibition dedicated to Raphael at Scuderie del Quirinale

The maxi-exhibition dedicated to Raphael’s 500th anniversary at the Scuderie del Quirinale is achieving great success: more than 70,000 tickets have already been sold and sold out since the first day of reopening. The Roman exhibition venue has therefore decided to extend the opening hours of the exhibition from June 19 so as to allow the largest number of people to visit. During the week people will be able to enter from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., while on weekends they will be able to stay at the exhibition until 1 a.m.

Beginning Thursday, June 18, at 12 noon, tickets for the new time slots will be available for purchase and expand the maximum number of visitors per time slot to eight people, with entry every five minutes. The visit will last about 75 minutes, during which visitors can be accompanied by the new audio guide available free of charge by downloading the Scuderie del Quirinale app on their device.

“The exhibition dedicated to Raphael is a unique event both for the importance of the anniversary and for the majesty of the exhibition project, the largest ever presented to date. The public has immediately shown great enthusiasm, and it is our duty to allow as many people as possible to take part in this unmissable event, while still maintaining the strictest security conditions,” said Mario De Simoni, president of Ales - Scuderie del Quirinale.
