Italy Museums

Italy Museums posts cover the major collections and a few smaller ones. Articles look at the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, the Uffizi and Pitti Palace in Florence, the Galleria Borghese in Rome with its Bernini sculptures, the Museo Egizio in Turin which has one of the largest Egyptian collections outside Cairo, the archaeological museums in Naples and Reggio Calabria, the Brera in Milan, the Accademia in Venice and the small but excellent Bardini in Florence. There are practical notes on advance booking, on the first-Sunday-of-the-month free days and on the new digital ticket systems.
