One of the world's great small museums, housed in a 17th-century villa inside Villa Borghese park, holding Bernini sculptures and Caravaggio paintings that will genuinely stop you in your tracks. Highlights include Bernini's Apollo and Daphne and Pluto and Proserpina — tactile, almost impossibly alive in marble. Timed entry is strictly enforced with a two-hour limit, so book weeks in advance; walk-ups are essentially impossible.
