Museo Napoleonico

The museum is free. A lot of unique and amazing things of 18-19 cent. For the lovers of the atmosphere of that time is highly recommended to visit! It took me about 1,5 hour to calmly watch the exposition

Museum is free. Really cool stuff from the Boneparte family. Apparently Napoleone never came to rome but his family did. Worth researching in advanced to better understand the history because there wasnt a lot of info available in English. I'd say you could could spend a good 1-1.5 hours here if you take you time to check everything out slowly. I would give 4.5 if i could.

I really enjoyed learning more about this tremendous individual. The gallery is one floor, and the layout is sensible and easy. Everything is labeled. There are also placards in each room in various languages to explain the rooms. You can pay €5 for the audio guide, which gives a little bit of extra more than the placards in the rooms, but it's not really worth it since I don't like how the audio guide doesn't explain the foreign terms it is using and if you read the placards that's good enough. ...

The entrance is free and what's offered is remarkable. Many exhibits of the Napoleonic Family, also many information on the History of the Family.

Basic museum close to Bridge "Umberto I" , close to The Supreme court (lungotevere Marzio). We visited on first Sunday of March because it was free entry for Roman citizens. It got some paintings, busts, garments/attires, swords and others. It is close to many other landmark places in Rome. It takes short time to cover whole museum. Many bus stops to get by and move to others if you are in a mood not much walking

Nie place quiet not many people all picture is original. Stuff is very friendly and can answer on all your questions. Ticket free end off April.

Free entry. Lovely small museum and a must visit for any napoleonic history fan! Personal and family focused not a military museum.

The museum tells what it promises: about the Napoleonic family and their connection with the history of Italy. Free

We took an excursion that only took us to Rome from Civitavecchia, the cruise port, the bus ride was 4 hrs rd trip leaving us w just 4 hrs to see the city but I have been to Rome some 7 times, my husband was scared of missing the bus so we only saw the Piazza Navona and the church there then came back to the bus stop. I was so excited to find out we stood right in front of the museum, the entrance was free and it was nicely air conditioned. The Museo Napoleonico in Rome presents the collections of Count Giuseppe Primoli, the great-grandson of Joseph and of Lucien Bonaparte. Born in 1851 to Princess Charlotte Bonaparte and Count Primoli di Foglia, Giuseppe Primoli belonged to the Roman branch of the imperial family. He spent most of his youth in Paris, at Napoleon III's court and moved to Rome after the fall of the Empire. Totally devoted to his family on his mother's side, he started a collection of works of art and various objects linked with the Bonapartes. The collection - comprising family souvenirs, objects donated by Princess Mathilda and Empress Eugénie, items bought from antique dealers or purchased in auction sales - grew consistently until its owner died in 1927. Count Primoli donated it to the city of Rome where many Bonapartes had sought refuge. I had gone to a French lycee and learned about Napoleon, I had gone to Corsica and seen the house where he was born, it was amazing, Corsica was a beautiful island, one thing I never saw was a picture of Josephine, his life long love and devotion to her, never learned about his long quest to have an heir so all those questions were answered by this massive museum. When I was young I was irritated w all the French revolution, guillotine and eternal wars between Europeans but as I get older I get fascinated by it all and going back to my roots, coincidentally on the 14 hours flight back from Barcelona, Lufthansa had the movie Napoleon w Vanessa Kirby and the amazing actor Joaquin Phoenix, wow she was so glamorous, that was not how real oil paintings of Josephine showed her, she looked pretty plain Jane but she was a real character. I must have spent hours studying the history of all the pictures, I was very impressed with the fact it was free and the museum curators were very helpful. Highly recommended even if you are not a Francophile.

Nice history about Napoleon and his family. Great to do to fill in time between bigger site seeing events. Free admission and 5 euro for audio-- audio is recommended for the full history and hidden treasures.

This museum is truly a hidden gem I don't think anybody knows about it but it is small and packed filled floor to roof wall-to-wall with artifacts pictures and well documented historical information about the family Napoleon. I myself, not being a history buff was mesmerized of the extent of the napoleonic era influence and the size of the family that ruled Europe and parts thereof for many generations. And to learn about the lesser known generations of Napoleon that attempted but ended up ruling nothing. At the very end of the museum is a small Room with some clothes from the era and it's amazing to see the size and the proportion of this clothes compared to modern day body sizes and frame types. The Napoleon's truly were a small sized people but with grand ambitions and grand control they left a grand legacy and can all be found here.

I can't tell you how many times we have been to Rome and never managed to see this museum. Well, we finally did, and we were so glad. It sits right on the Tiber River across from the Palace of Justice. This is a free museum. The museum has 14 rooms containing everything Napoleon in Rome. It was given to the City of Rome in 1927 by Count Joseph Primoli. He is a descendant of Napoleon; thus the fascination with the Bonapartes. This was his private collection. There are family souvenirs, paintings, miniatures, furniture, sculptures, drawings and so much more. The museum is arranged in exactly the same way as it was when first planned by the Count. We were so glad we finally saw this museum.

This is a really interesting small museum with high quality items. And it's free! Yes- free. I'm so glad we made the to time to go here. It was on our way to museo altemps- so we thought, " Why not?" If you have any interest in Napoleon you have to come here, but even if you don't, make the stop. The jewelry was gorgeous- but so was everything else. And you'll get the story of the man who started the museum.

Wandering around Rome, we stumbled upon this little Napoleon Museum and decided to go in, mostly because it was free to enter. We only spent about 20 or so minutes, I estimate, but saw a few interesting items and enjoyed the building it was housed in. Ah, serendipity.
