☝🏼The @museicapitolini in Rome instead by contrast, are the OLDEST in the world as we know. 🤚🏼However, for the Vatican to open in 1771 didn’t mean the WHOLE general public entered. Ever heard of a Grand Tour? 💁🏻♀️Beginning in the late sixteenth century, it became fashionable for young aristocrats to visit Paris, Venice, Florence, and above all Rome, as the culmination of their classical education. 💡Thus was born the idea of the Grand Tour, a practice that introduced Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians, and also Americans to the art and culture of France and Italy for the next 300 years. Travel was arduous and costly throughout the period, possible only for a privileged class—the same that produced gentleman scientists, authors, antiquaries, and patrons of the arts. 🏛️ Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by gaining admission to private collections, and many were eager to acquire examples of Greco-Roman and Italian art for their own collections. 🎩 The Grand Tour gave concrete form to northern Europeans’ ideas about the Greco-Roman world and helped foster Neoclassical ideals. 😌 Museums start to open to the “general” public only early 20th century when most properties are taken over by the state, or it becomes beneficial for income to admit entry for private owners due to a VERY changing societal landscape in a new modern century. ——————————- #historiansofinstagram #romehistory #rometravel #rometips #vaticanmuseums #rometravelers #tourguidemitra
