Your Visit
The Museum houses a rich collection of Etruscan ceramic, bronze and gold objects.
The exhibition route unfolds from the Hypogeum floor (Level -1) to the Piano Nobile (Level 1), in a journey that takes visitors from past to present – with over 200 artefacts of the museum’s Etruscan collection exhibited alongside modern and contemporary artworks.
Access to temporary exhibitions, which are installed within the permanent collection exhibition spaces, is included in the museum ticket.
The Art Pavilion hosts temporary exhibitions that are open free of charge.
Audio Guide
The audio guide is designed to offer a personalised museum experience: using geolocation, the guide automatically detects the visitor’s position in the museum and activates the relevant content, offering general descriptions for each exhibition space, and artwork descriptions and special insights as visitors approach certain objects or artefacts
The audio guide is available, free of charge, from the ticket office or by downloading the Fondazione Luigi Rovati app on any compatible smartphone.
The FLR app offers visitors a complete museum experience: in addition to audioguides and artwork descriptions, it includes useful information about the Foundation and offers the possibility to book tickets and stay up to date on upcoming activities.
The FLR app was awarded with:
Bloomberg Connects
