Visitors' journey
The Museum hosts an invaluable collection of Etruscan ceramics, bronzes and gold pieces.
The visitors’ journey starts from the underground “Hypogeum” floor to the main floor, or “Noble” floor, ranging from modern to contemporary artworks, plus more than 200 artefacts of the Etruscan collection.
Access to temporary exhibitions, set up within the permanent visiting path, is included in the price of the entry ticket.
The Pavilion holds temporary exhibitions that are open free of charge.
Audio-guide
The free audioguide “Fondazione Luigi Rovati” is available at the Museum’s ticket office and online by downloading the free app.
The app is a useful tool for all stages of your visit: before, during and after. It contains all necessary information on the Museum, and it can also be used to purchase tickets or memberships. Inside the Museum, the audio-guide leads visitors through the exhibition spaces while providing in-depth information on the most notable artworks and updates on the Foundation’s activities and events.
Available languages: Italian and English.
Accessibility
The Fondazione Luigi Rovati promotes access to knowledge by making every effort to overcome physical, social and cultural barriers through partnerships with professionals and non-profit associations, all in the interest of developing paths and tools which enhance the visitors’ experience in the museum’s hall and help them engage with the works of art.
