Mythology for kids at the Borghese Gallery

At the Borghese Gallery statues and paintings turn mithological stories into vivid scenesthat feel almost alive.
A family-friendly tour that helps you relive myths of gods with almost human emotions, and of humans dealing with the unpredictable whims of the divine.
You will leave with photos, curiosity and just one small doubt left in mind. Was it really marble, or did it move when you weren’t looking?
