The gallery sits at the outskirts of a BEAUTIFUL park (Borghese villa). We got to walk through a little corner of it to get to the gallery. It was beautiful and we stumbled upon this pretty fountain so naturally we took pictures.

Galleria Borghese
My group was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go to the Borghese Gallery, which is a very famous gallery in Rome. It contains art work from many influential artist, in fact this little gem is where some of the art in the Louve came from. It was really awesome to get to see all of the amazing things inside, and even more amazing that Lori-Ann came with us to tell us all about everything so we could be more aware of the significance. This is what the outside of the Gallery looks like, (it is suppose to be a cabinet), and unfortunately cameras aren't allowed inside so I couldn't take any pictures, but my favorite piece was a sculpture by Bernini called 'Apollo and Daphne' so look it up! It was beautiful!
