β β β β β It's ok to pop in if you're in the area but don't go out of your way to visit it. The self guided audio tour is extremely confusing to follow, you're better off just reading the signs beside each display. Not really a museum, mostly replicas with a gift shop at the front.

β β β β β Went to the Gladiator museum in piazza Navona a couple of days ago close to the fountain of Neptune in Piazza Navona. Google maps had it listed as permanently closed but I notified them that's it's actually open, and it was changed on the G maps pretty quickly. Kudos Google.
It's mainly a novelty and a souvenir shop, but there is a roped off access to the basement which has a medium sized display of reproductions of costumes and weapons of that era. Before entering I was hoping it would be kind of like the Samurai museum in Tokyo, but that place had original costumes and helmets, was a much larger exhibit.
It's free to enter however, they request that if you enjoyed the exhibit that you contribute to the gratuity box. Since the counter lady has to let you out you may feel pressured to leave a small tip...and you should. For comparison remember that the Vatican museum entrance fee is 17 Euros.
I spent 30 minutes there as i find that era fascinating. There is a great video on YouTube on gladiator types ( Types of gladiators 3D animated history by new Historia) which has realistic looking representation of various types of gladiators one by one, describing their weapons.

β β β β β Myself and my boyfriend absolutely loved this place! We found it by accident when we having a drink around the Piazza Navona. After being given a little radio that guides you around the museum we felt very educated as we are already really into gladiators.
The place is a little small but full of history and lots of awesome artifacts.

β β β β β We found this place by accident and it was good. This place is very small, but if you are in love with gladiators and Spartacus, then you may find this place interesting. The whole tour may take up to 10-30 minutes depending on your enthusiasm. The lady seems to be very enthusiastic about this kind of things

β β β β β The museum is free to enter (with a βtip jarβ so you can pay what you like before or after). Itβs a well kept collection of armour and weapons with dense information β a bit tricky to navigate if youβve never heard of the terminology, but recognisable if youβve seen period films. It would benefit from some timeline to talk about what materials and metalworking techniques were available and what the references outfits are (they are mentioned but not shown).

β β β β β I stumbled to this place by accident and since it was free I checked it out. Mostly replicas, but that's OK. If you are into gladiator stuff it will be very interesting to learn about different types of outfits.
I recommend buying a great book that shows with overlays then-and-now pictures of most important historical places in Rome.
