What people are saying:
The best museum to e visited in Rome. You need a reservation but it is worthwhile. This Galery was designed to contain all the arts of the Borghese Family (paintings, sculptures ecc) in particular of Paulina Bonaparte married to a Borghese and sister of Napoleone.I love to visit this Galery quite often and every time I discover something that make me love more and more this place.

Additional Information
Introduction
The Borghese Gallery holds most of the paintings, sculptures and antiquities collected by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who was one of Bernini's greatest patrons. The building is set within the Villa Borghese Gardens, a beautiful attraction in its own right. Showcased within the collection are some of Bernini's greatest works, such as the Apollo and Daphne, as well as a few Titian masterpieces and six major pieces by Caravaggio, including The Boy with a Basket of Fruit and the Madonna della Serpe. The gallery only permits a select number of visitors at a time, so it is advisable to book in advance.

After the Vatican museums, this is the most beautiful museum in Rome.
amazing art gallery in Rome, with paintings and sculptures by Caravaggio, Tiziano, Raffaello, Bernini and Canova.
An absolutely amazing museum. The statutes by Bellini are striking, dominating huge rooms encased in the most beautiful marble. The paintings upstairs are great but the first floor alone is worth the entry. Reserve online and bring a printed or electronic receipt, rent the headphones (the rooms are so full it helps to have the highlights pointed out) and spend the allotted two hours being wowed by the beauty of masterpieces being displayed in extravagant to the extreme opulence. The Cardinal who owned the villa and gathered and commissioned most of the art had the help of his uncle, the Pope, at the time. Walking through the surrounding park is a good way to wind down after the art overload.
We could not speak of Villa Borghese without considering the Borghese Museum and Gallery. On the ground floor and displays sculptures, while on the upper floor the Gallery collects paintings.
