Overview
Housed in the Casino Borghese, a 17th-century villa built for Cardinal Scipione Borghese, this museum sits within the Villa Borghese park. It holds Bernini's early masterpieces 'Apollo and Daphne' and 'The Rape of Proserpina', alongside Caravaggio's 'Sick Bacchus' and 'David with the Head of Goliath' - the pinnacle of Baroque sculpture and painting. Visits run on timed two-hour entry slots to protect the collection and limit crowding, allowing a relaxed viewing experience. Admission about EUR 15 (advance booking mandatory, plus a small booking fee). 15-minute walk from Metro Spagna (Line A), or take the park's shuttle bus.
