The Borghese Gallery is only a fragment of the wider Villa Borghese, a sprawling real estate comprising gardens, fountains, eateries, art-and-culture arenas and more.
The 17th-century Villa Borghese was commissioned by the Borghese family and designed by Flaminio Ponzio. Located atop the Pincian Hills in Rome and surrounded by the gardens, the villa has a light and airy structure adorned with reliefs and ancient sculptures. It now houses the Borghese Gallery, which showcases Italian Renaissance and Baroque art.
Access: Included with Borghese Gallery tickets.
Transformed from vineyards in the 1600s by a Cardinal and revamped in 1903 to suit English tastes, the gardens form the green lung of Rome. With 90+ points of interest, it hosts attractions like the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Bioparco Di Roma Zoo, and Villa Medici.
Access: Garden entry is free. However, landmarks within the gardens may have entry fees.

The current exhibition at the Borghese Gallery marks a historic first, showcasing the work of female artist Louise Bourgeois for the first time in the gallery’s history. The exhibition focuses on pieces that intertwine her memory with the collective and public memory of the museum itself. Bourgeois was deeply influenced by the psychoanalytical school of thought, and her initial visits to the Borghese Gallery keenly influenced her approach to imagining how old art forms interact with the new.
Last date of exhibition: September 15, 2024.
