Museo di Roma in Trastevere

A quick dive into this museum ehile waoting for our dinner reservation. A small but thoughtful museum about local life in Rome and Trastevere. Many photo exhibits. My favourite exhibit was on level 2 which contained figures and scenes of life in Rome in the 19the century. The figures were lifelike and one feels almost transported into the scenes they portray. Up the stairs the museum also has a replica of the Mouth of Truth!

This is a very unique and interesting museum to visit and I’m very glad I went. It had a cool selection and collection of various works of art on display here, lots of paintings, sculptures, statues, mannequins and antiques to see. Its collection is very well kept and very nicely displayed. It had on a very nice exhibition when I was here on the cultural revolution in China. I really enjoyed the time I spent here and I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

We got to see the incredible exhibition of works of art made by Philippe Halsman. He took portraits of Muhammad Ali, Louis Armstrong, Maryling Monroe, Oppenheimer, Robert Kennedy, Albert Einstein and many more! Such an incredible photographer and such a high quality museum to visit and enjoy! Not too crowded and worth the experience!!!

The museum has two floors: on the first floor and on a part of the second is a space for temporary exhibitions. On the second floor is situated the main exposition of the museum dedicated to the daily life of romans. Beautiful paintings and spectacular scenes in several rooms. Highly recommended! With MIC card the museum is free

The current exhibition of photos from the 1930s by Hilde Lotz-Bauer is extraordinary. Well worth a special trip.

Toto. The ground floor dedicated to the Italian actor/comedian Antonio de Curtis. His life and loves. The second floor relevant late 20th art commemorating 1977 in Rome.

I left after maybe 20 minutes, while parts were somewhat interesting it was largely boring. Also many of the exhibits had no English translation so speak Italian to fully enjoy it. Perhaps lovers of photography or modern Italy will find it interesting but for the average person not worth the €8.50.

A catchy poster hangs on the exterior building of the Museo di Roma in Trastevere, which was a former monastery of Sant’Edigio in the Piazza Sant’Edigio in Trastevere district of Rome for the temporary photography exhibition show called "La Movida. SPAGNA 1980-1990" or translated to “THE NIGHT LIFE. SPAIN 1980-1990” . Miguel Trillo is the photographer and who is also an artist. The exhibition show is curated by Héctor Fouce, but is also organized by the Spanish Embassy in Italy. The backstory of the exhibition is advertised as the “story of the 80’s, the cultural movement known as La Movida, and its social and political consequences.” The website informs that this exhibition is on view until April 30, 2023. The exhibition begins up the stairs. It was a lovely exhibition. You have time to see it, if you are still in Rome, or plan to be in Rome until April 30, 2023.
