Caravaggio plus the New MAXXI Museum: Art and Culture in Rome with the Hotel Hassler

Heading to Rome this spring? It's easy to get your arts fix in the Eternal City, where the plethora of sightseeing options is almost paralyzing. Culture vultures won't want to miss MAXXI, Rome's new Museum of 21st Century Art, housed in an impressive building designed by acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid. Italy's first national museum devoted to contemporary art will be opening in May. Or for something more classical, hit up the Caravaggio exhibition at The Scuderie del Quirinale and soak up the timeless beauty of the artist's key works including the Bacchus from Florence's Uffizi Gallery, the "David with the Head of Goliath" from Rome's Borghese Gallery, "The Musicians" from New York's Metropolitan, "The Lute Player" from the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and more...
