A Guide to the Museo di Scultura Antica Giovanni Barracco
Everything you need to know about Museo di Scultura Antica Giovanni Barracco also known as Museo Barrocco.
This museum is fantastic! Located near Piazza Navona this little gem is completely free of charge.
The three floors offer a great collection of Greek, Egyptian, Roman, Phoenician art, Etruscan art, Hellenistic art, and a few specimens of medieval art.
There is also an underground area that unfortunately was closed when I went (it's only open on the weekend). I'll definitely be going back to check it out in more detail.
When visiting make sure you look up. You won't be disappointed. The ceilings are amazing.
