Good way to see large collection. However, most of what you want to see is in one room —ie, the Caravaggio and the Brunilescchi—so you can get away without a guide. The guide was knowledgeable but had a difficult accent and then did not walk me back to where we met, so I had to find my own way out and I got a bit lost. He was in a hurry to meet his next clients.
Well prepared and passionate overview of the collection focused around Carravagio and the highlight of the museum lsuch as for example Gentileschi.
Thanks a lot for this feedback!
