Without doubt one of Rome's more interesting art galleries, with the benefit of usually offering two or three simultaneous shows (usually from different centuries), so if you go with a fan of the Old Masters but you're more of an abstract art chick, everything is ok. It only gets three stars for a couple of reasons, however; I find the layout fairly frustrating - when the exhibition space is full, you never really escape from the noise in the main atrium. School parties also easily clog up the aisles. The biggest defect for me today when I visited was the approach and general demeanour of the front desk; while attempting to buy my ticket, the person behind the desk didn't once stop chatting to a fellow staff member, communicating with me only in gestures, which was a shame as the rest of the gallery staff seemed polite and ready to help. As usual, one of the toilets was out of order and a faint air of chaos reigned throughout the gallery. Noisy visitors don't really get shushed which can make the whole experience pretty frustrating at times.
