Rome continues its Free Museum Sunday at city-run museums.

Rome will open its municipal museums for free to all visitors on Sunday 4 October.

The city's latest monthly initiative comes days after Italy suspended indefinitely the Domenica al Museo opening of state museums and archaeological sites due to the risks connected with covid-19 and crowds.

Visitors are assigned a time slot, with staggered entries, and must show their booking either on their smartphone or printed off on paper.
