| The Galleria Borghese dedicates an exposition to the greates exponent of Neoclassicism with the intention of showing his ties to the Borghese and Bonaparte families and to highlight his artistic production using “Venus” as a theme (the expostion’s title literally translates “Canova and Venus the Winner”) by means of about 50 works of art on loan from museums all over the world. | |
From Bed and Breakfast Chaplin Hostel and Rome Termini you take bus 910. Ask the driver where to get off, for the museum is not really easily recognizable. From Hostel Little Italy B&B you take metro line A to Spagna (4 stops), find the Villa Borghese exit and walk along the eastside of the park till you come to the Galleria Borghese.
Please note that you cannot go to the Galleria Borghese without having made a reservation at least one day before your visit. It is possible to do this via the internet, but that has not always appeared to be equally reliable, so if you have booked your accommodation in Rome in Bed and Breakfast Little Italy or Chaplin Hostel we will gladly do this for you (for free of course). Especially during the high season it is advisable to secure the reservation well in advance of your visit to Rome.
