Tickets: how much it costs

The Galleria Doria Pamphilj is a private museum, so the ticket costs a little more than at Rome's state-run museums (prices are approximate — check the official website for current rates). The ticket usually includes the audio guide, a real bonus: it's narrated by a member of the family and is an integral part of the experience.

Reduced rates are available for students, young people and other categories. Small children generally enter free.

Opening hours

The gallery is normally open every day with continuous hours, though it may close one day a month (hours are approximate — check the official website). Last admission is usually about an hour before closing.

Because this is a private museum, hours and closures can differ from those of state-run museums: always check the official website before you go.

The audio guide narrated by the family

The most beloved feature of the visit is the audio guide, told in the voice of a member of the Doria Pamphilj family. This is no standard, technical commentary: it's a personal, affectionate account of the palace, the artworks and the ancestors, turning the visit into something intimate and memorable. It's worth taking your time with it.
