The Galleria Borghese is the state museum in the Borghese villa holding Bernini's sculptures and the Caravaggio paintings collected by Cardinal Scipione Borghese. Entry is by reserved two-hour slot only.
Example
The gallery and the park share a name, and only the gallery needs a reservation: the Villa Borghese gardens around it are free and open all day.
