Rome, concessionary tickets between Colosseum and National Roman Museum

A system of cross-ticket concessions to strengthen Rome ’s museum network and encourage more integrated access to the capital’s archaeological heritage. This is the first concrete result of thetwo-year enhancement agreement signed between the Colosseum Archaeological Park and the National Roman Museum, which starting in March will allow visitors to access their respective venues at reduced rates.

Under the agreement, Roman National Museum ticket holders will be able to purchase the Friends PArCo Reduced Ticket at a cost of 14 euros. Similarly, visitors to the Colosseum Archaeological Park will be guaranteed the opportunity to purchase the National Roman Museum’s Museums on the Net ticket at a cost of 10 euros. A dual channel of facilitated access that aims to encourage a broader visit itinerary, linking the great open-air monumental complexes with the museum collections that preserve and deepen their history.

The agreement, signed by the director of the Colosseum Archaeological Park, Simone Quilici, and the director of the National Roman Museum, Federica Rinaldi, commits the two institutions to establish mutual collaborative relationships in research, education and cultural heritage promotion activities. The measure on fees represents only the first step in a broader strategy geared toward linking sites and collections that share the same historical and archaeological matrix.

“With this important initiative,” says PArCo Director Simone Quilici, “we are inaugurating a policy of strengthening the museum network in Rome, which aims to enhance the institutions that are repositories of archaeological evidence from the Palatine, Roman Forum, Colosseum and Domus Aurea sites, with a view to the shared promotion of a unique cultural heritage in the world. The National Roman Museum is the first of the capital’s state museums to join this PArCo agreement already active with the Jewish Museum of Rome and the Villa Farnesina, thus starting a virtuous path toward expanding the offer to visitors capable of leading to a more balanced distribution of tourist flows.”

“This agreement,” says MNR director Federica Rinaldi, “not only represents a concrete step toward an integrated and modern vision of the enhancement of the capital’s cultural heritage, but also stems from the awareness that Rome’s extraordinary archaeological and historical-artistic wealth can and must be told in an integrated way. Promoting access with facilitated conditions means encouraging a more complete visiting experience, capable of linking the great open-air monumental complexes with the museum collections that preserve, deepen and contextualize their history. Finally, networking the PArCo’s sites with the National Roman Museum’s venues means proposing a unified narrative of Roman civilization: from the symbolic places of power and public life to the artifacts, works and contexts that tell its daily, artistic and social dimensions. This initiative confirms how institutional collaboration is the key to making heritage increasingly accessible, sustainable and participatory. It is a positive sign, which goes in the direction of an inclusive culture capable of creating shared value for citizens, scholars and visitors from all over the world.”
