Palazzo Braschi and the Museo di Roma at a glance
Palazzo Braschi stands between Piazza Navona and Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. The architect Cosimo Morelli planned it for Luigi Braschi Onesti, a nephew of Pope Pius VI. The new building went up from 1792, after the earlier building on the site was pulled down. Today it houses the Museo di Roma, the city museum.
The permanent collection is on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Special exhibitions are a separate ticket and a separate price. The entrances are on Piazza San Pantaleo 10 and Piazza Navona 2.
Lift: since 17 September 2026 the lift has been temporarily out of order. Do not plan on step-free access without checking the museum's current notices first.

The views of Piazza Navona
What the museum shows of the square, and what it does not.
Rooms with windows to the square
Some rooms of the museum have windows toward Piazza Navona. You see the oval from inside the building, from the height of the upper floors.
No rooftop terrace to count on
The museum offers a view from its rooms. Do not plan your day around a publicly accessible roof terrace.
The shape of the stadium
From above the ground, the long oval is easier to read. The square follows the track of an ancient stadium; see the Stadium of Domitian page for what is closed and what you can see outside.
