Carlo Bilotti Museum, Modern art museum in Villa Borghese, Italy
The Carlo Bilotti Museum occupies a restored historical building inside Villa Borghese park that once served as an Orangery. The structure houses contemporary artworks in an intimate setting designed for close viewing and contemplation.
The building began in the 18th century as a water games pavilion and later became an Orangery for the estate. A major renovation project in 2006 transformed it into the museum space it is today.
The collection reflects one patron's vision for bringing together modern Italian and international artists under one roof. The works displayed here show how artists of different generations engaged with portraiture, sculpture, and painting during the contemporary era.
The museum sits within the Villa Borghese grounds, making it easy to combine with a park visit or nearby attractions. The collection is modest in size and can be viewed comfortably in under an hour.
The collection focuses on a carefully selected number of works rather than a vast inventory, ranging from Giorgio de Chirico to contemporary sculptors. This focused approach allows each artist and piece to be studied more closely.
