Offer for senior facilities and nursing homes
Barberini on the Road: the Museum Barberini will come to you!
Museum visits are not always possible for groups from senior facilities and nursing homes, so the Museum Barberini is now organizing tours and lectures at your location on topics related to current exhibitions. A guide from the Museum Barberini will give a digital presentation of the exhibition at your institution, showing artworks in high-resolution projections and sharing the stories of the pictures with you.
Fee: 105 euros per group
