Chiostro del Bramante

Absolutely gorgeous experience. Beautiful and insightful exhibition into the interpretation of flowers through time. The flower room in the cafe is stunning and offers a sneak peak at Rafael's famous Sybil fresco.

I have visited the museum with 2 kids aged 3 and 11 and although some of the art pieces had concepts beyond their age, all sensorial and optical effects they were engulfed in have made it into a memorable experience. I could not recommend this museum enough as I would put it in my Rome 10 places to visit anytime!

The fee for general entrance is 5 euros and for the exhibition 17. Beautiful space and artworks though very limited if you pay just the entrance fee. I recommend enjoy a cafe there as the coffe place is amazing. The is also an amazing gift shop inside with great variety.

I stopped here on my way to Piazza Navona, located nearby. The building was constructed during the Renaissance by architect Donato Bramante, who will become the biggest rival of Michelangelo. It’s a two-story building full of arches that enclose an internal open yard, which at the time of my visit was closed, being prepared for some upcoming exhibition. It also includes the church of Santa Maria della Pace, which is very beautiful, and famous for its fresco “Le Sibille” of Raffaello Sanzio.The fresco can be seen from an amazingly painted room on the second floor of the Chiostro (Trappola d’Amore a Pleasure Palace). Adjacent to this room there is also a small bistro, but I didn’t try it. There was not too much too see, but it still was a nice break from my day-long walk in Rome. However, one day I’d love to visit again when there is an exhibition.

Excellent experience for a family with children. Amazing interaction with artworks, great time playing table tennis, great staff, wonderful building… the entrance was a bit hard to find because of ongoing works. Perfect anyway

The café inside is a quiet and artistic space, perfect for relaxing away from the crowd. The temporary exhibition on emotions was both engaging and thought-provoking. I truly enjoyed my time there!

Do NOT pay for the outside exhibition, you get to see a room of a café and that’s literally it. Very disappointed. And the normal tickets are 17 euros per person, there is no reduced price for people between 18-25 like other museums. Be aware.

Attended on a weekend, no queue and was able to buy tickets at the ticket office. The exhibits are varied and an audio guide is provided free through an app, they advise to use their wifi connection due the poor signal due to the age of the building/walls etc. I found the whole experience very relaxing and it is the type of place you could really chill out in and take your time with each of the exhibits people permitting. My highlights were the sensory type of exhibits, also makes for some interesting selfies. Worth paying a visit as its very different from the usual sculptures and paintings of old Rome.

This review is for the café on the second floor; a quaint little cafeteria with seating inside and outdoors on the terrace. They have a good assortment of teas and coffee drinks plus a limited but nice food menu. I had the Vegetarian burger with chips €10 Details: Quinoa and chickpea burger, celery, carrots, milk sandwich tomato, iceberg, caramelized onion and chickpea cream. Served with crispy hot fries. (Chips) Recommended: bon appétit

This is a scam. Stay away. My wife and I have visited Rome over a dozen times, and been to all the sites multiple times. I can say unequivocally that this is the worst ripoff in Rome. This place will charge you 5 euros to see two fresco figures by Raphael that are actually in an adjacent building, through a bad quality glass window at the back of the coffee shop! No kidding. The lady who apparently runs the place told me to my face, without blushing, that the ticket price covers the view of the painting on the stairs and also the restaurant decor! My recommendation is to avoid this place.

Incredible exhibitions. The food in the cafe is really good! The Sibelle Room with immersive artwork by Fallen Fruit is of course a hidden gem.

The cheesecake fruit di bosco was so delicious! Tiramisu was second best. The environment AWESOME. Don't order an ice coffee its not what you think. I was so excited to see an ice drink on the menu BUT I was in ROME it was not the same as home. And that is ok I was in ROME!! We ordered a limoncello for both of us and received a shot. Also unexpected lol. If you are considering this spot to sit and have a treat and coffee I urge you to do so.

I booked a ticket to see the exhibit Dream L' Arte Incontra I Sogni (Art Meets Dreams) at the Chiostro del Bramante museum in the heart of Rome. As soon as I walked into the courtyard and saw the two beautiful serene sculptures by Jaume Plensa and I heard the beautiful audio, I knew this was going to be a great experience. The museum is a little hard to find in the beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The exhibition Dream is a private expression and a gateway to the deepest part of a person's soul expressed by artists in beautiful exhibits. You can book tickets online and get the audio to get the full experience. The building itself is also beautiful and houses a really fun gift/bookstore, coffee shop, and a very warm and inviting bistrot. Fabulous way to spend a few hours in Rome. www.chiostrodelbramante.it

This place, must always stay open! Where art, meets luxury, where ancient walls, meet modernity! From the exhibit, to the location, to the structure, to the coffee shop, it is all truly beautiful!

Attended the Jean-Michel Basquiat art show. Highly recommend! Great pieces, wonderful commentary on the audio guide and pleasant staff.
