Museo e Cripta dei Cappuccini

This was a very interesting and educational visit. We found it by chance and was totally worth the time!! The museum had so many artifacts from the monks and the audio tour was really done well. The narration was paced perfectly amd was real thorough with what you were looking at. The crypt was so cool and the detail to the designs with the bones all you can say is WOW. If you get there a little early they will take you in before your time or you can go next door to the church and see some beautiful architecture and paintings inside. The Souvenir store was very inexpensive and lits of cools things to buy. All in all with the time and price!!!

A striking and unsettling visit. The Capuchin Crypt is a place of macabre art that evokes mixed feelings. On one hand, the educational aspect about the Capuchin brotherhood and its history is interesting, and the artistic work created from the bones is impressive. On the other hand, coming face to face with real human remains is not something everyone is used to, and it can be uncomfortable. A very unique place, worth visiting if you are prepared for it.

It was very informative. They give you an audioguide also, which is included in the ticket price (€10). There're lockers in the entry if you need to put away your bags, it does get crowded inside. There's also a painting of Caravaggio in the exhibition, if you're interested. I went there early after openning so there were less people but it got crowded very quickly after that.

Wasn't sure what to expect as we had visited another crypt site at the Catacombs of San Sebastian. This one provided an extensive history of the Franciscan Order, but it required too much reading. We started out in the first room and realized there were several more rooms. Would have been better if there was an audio tour that took you through the museum. The highlight were the crypts. It is only 5-6 chambers but because of the narrow walkway, you have to wait for those ahead of you to move on before you can view. Elaborate and "creative" display of old bones, each room designated to a certain body part. Interesting to visit if you're in the area; not sure I would make a special trip to see it though.

The first time I went to the Capucin Crypt was 30 years ago and I had no idea what I was walking into. My mind was blown. Now I felt a kind of peace there,a circle of life thing. It is still amazing. They've added a small museum you go through before reaching the Crypt which I think is a wonderful addition which gives a lot of context and info about the order. I'd highly recommend the stop when visting Rome.

If you are visiting Rome, do not miss this. The museum is informative and the crypt is spectacular. One of my most vivid memories from Rome.

First you go through the museum. I recommend using the audio guide. It gives some nice information about the capuchins. At the end of the museum you go through the crypt. Which are six rooms in total. The atmosphere on the crypt is very serene. It is a very special place and one of the most interesting places I visited in Rome.

Fascinating place that really tells the story and history. Walking through the museum you learn the history, getting to see an original Caravaggio too was a very nice surprise. The museum prepares you for the Crypt which is Macabre but beautiful in its own right. The skill and precision of everything, but with the due respect deserved was stunning. Very much a must visit if you're wanting to visit something a little different in Rome
