myTUI

Start your experience with a panoramic bus transfer from Piazza d'Aracoeli to the Barberini stop, where the Capuchin Crypt is located, and embark on an exploration of the museum's 8 rooms, each revealing aspects of the religious order's simple lifestyle, their connection with the poor, and their spirit of brotherhood.

The museum is situated on Via Veneto, just a stone's throw from Piazza Barberini and adjacent to the baroque church of Santa Maria della Concezione. The initial section of the museum focuses on the convent, a project commissioned by the Barberini family and completed in 1631 under the guidance of Capuchin architect Fra Michele da Bergamo. Subsequent sections delve into the Capuchin order and spirituality through depictions and narratives of various saints. You'll also find displays of liturgical vestments, everyday artifacts, and a painting possibly created by Caravaggio specifically for the Capuchin convent.

The final sections narrate the spiritual, cultural, missionary, and artistic endeavours of the order during the 20th century and globally. Concluding your visit, you'll be introduced to the crypt's cemetery, a deeply evocative space that perfectly encapsulates your museum experience.
