Palazzo Corsini Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica Skip-the-Line Entry
Embark on a journey through time at the Galleria Corsini, the sole surviving 18th-century Roman picture gallery. Explore the heart of Rome's National Gallery of Ancient Art and feast your eyes on masterpieces such as Caravaggio's "St. John the Baptist", Salvator Rosa's "Prometheus", Rubens' "St. Sebastian", and the enigmatic Corsini Throne.
The palace was commissioned towards the late 15th century by Cardinal Raffaele Riario, brother of Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere and father of Pope Julius II. In 1736, the ownership was transferred to the affluent Corsini family from Florence.
Today, this historic building is home to the Accademia dei Lincei. Its library boasts the book collection of Cardinal Neri Corsini, while its extraordinary print collection forms the oldest part of the current National Institute of Graphics, while also housing one of the most esteemed collections of the National Gallery of Ancient Art, featuring marbles, sculptures, and paintings.
