Unlike other metropolitan cities in Europe where you can check out some amazing art at museums for free; in Rome you almost always have to pay. With the exception of course, of churches, which showcase some of the world’s best known Baroque and Renaissance masterpieces, museum entrances can set you back a pretty penny. However, the good news is that there are several private galleries around town that will welcome you with open arms to view their collection of modern and contemporary art. Here’s a list of galleries that will cost you niente.
