Visitors' journey
The Museum hosts an invaluable collection of Etruscan ceramics, bronzes and gold pieces.
The visitors’ journey starts from the underground “Hypogeum” floor to the main floor, or “Noble” floor, ranging from modern to contemporary artworks, plus more than 200 artefacts of the Etruscan collection.
Access to temporary exhibitions, set up within the permanent visiting path, is included in the price of the entry ticket.
The Pavilion holds temporary exhibitions that are open free of charge.
Audio-guide
The audioguide is designed to offer the visitor a personalised experience of the museum visit: based on indoor localisation, it automatically activates content when the visitor enters a space or approaches an artefact, and also offers the possibility of activating further insights.
The audio guide is available at the ticket office or by downloading the free FLR app on your mobile phone.
With the FLR app it is also possible to access all the information about the Fondazione and the Museum, purchase the entrance ticket and keep up-to-date on activities.
The FLR app was awarded with:
Bloomberg Connects
You can explore the museum spaces and discover the most important works of the Fondazione Luigi Rovati Art Museum also through our digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and culture app.
Bloomberg Connects allows visitors to enhance and expand their visit experience through a selection of contents and interactive maps, from exhibition insights, video guides, photo galleries, and thematic tours led by curators.
The Bloomberg Connects app can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple Store or Google Play.
Accessibility
The Fondazione Luigi Rovati promotes access to knowledge by making every effort to overcome physical, social and cultural barriers through partnerships with professionals and non-profit associations, all in the interest of developing paths and tools which enhance the visitors’ experience in the museum’s hall and help them engage with the works of art.
Museo Gentile (Gentle Museum) is the series of projects designed by the Fondazione Luigi Rovati to accommodate people with frailty and special needs.
