What makes it 76% Kids-Friendly: Under-18s enter free and 4–11 workshops add fun, but strict no-touch rules, security staff, and text-heavy displays mean young children need close supervision and may tire quickly.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Allows time for galleries, a workshop, and a café break without rushing kids.
Italian Futurism gallery:
See dynamic sculptures and paintings by Boccioni and other Futurists.
Tip: Ask kids to spot movement in the artworks and mimic the poses.

Tip: Use the museum’s free activity sheets to talk about color and brushstrokes.
Family Art Workshop:

Tip: Order a fresh pastry and let kids rest at the outdoor seating area.

Very interesting. Great value for money. Wish the exhibits were explained in at least one foreign language (such as English). It’d be great if the materials used were explained; this is particularly necessary for modern art which adopts very creative use of all sorts of materials.

My favourite Museum in Rome! So many great Artists and their works, I was amazed. For those who enjoy the Modern Art, this is where you want to go, when you are in Rome! Very friendly staff, calm and spacious Museum!

A complete tour with a calm and careful peace took me around 1 hour and 30 minutes, and I then spent 30 minutes on the sofas at the exit co...

Really good modern art exhibits by a wide range of artists and styles from statues to abstract art to traditional wall art. There are many different themes from religion to social commentary, and philosophy. There are free lockers and free toilets as part of the ticket.

A really well curated collection of late 19th century to contemporary art. The museum is spacious, cool and superbly arranged. Primary Italian art but a significant amount of top international works too. It was a wonderful break from the bustle of most of Rome. Unlike many attractions, there was no queue, you could get to all the works easily and the staff were very welcoming.
First Sundays offer free entry with reservation but can be crowded. Spring and autumn mornings are quieter. Summer visits offer cool indoor relief from heat.
