About Barberini & GNAM galleries

The Palazzo Barberini, a 17th-century palace near Rome's Piazza Barberini, now houses the "Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica," the city's premier collection of ancient paintings. Originally acquired by Maffeo Barberini, later Pope Urban VIII, it was a villa purchased from the Sforza family for his cousins Taddeo, Francesco, and Antonio. Renowned artists like Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Borromini were enlisted to transform the villa into a magnificent palace. Today, it features 187 rooms spread over 12,000 m2, adorned with the Barberini family crest—a bee—found throughout the museum on ceilings and statues.
