★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a gem! Just at the right foot of the famous Spanish steps, this is where John Keats died of Consumption in 1821.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A really well curated museum in the former home of John Keats and Joseph Severn. Includes interesting letters, pictures and gives you a good sense of Keats's final days. V knowledgeable staff too.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love this place. It is like a temple in honor of the works and lives of Keats, Shelley, and Byron. A must visit in Rome for fans of high literature.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A true honor to visit this site. It's not so much about, "Here's the bed Keats spent his last waking hours." It's more like, "Here's an anchor for celebrating British Romantic poets who spent time in Rome."
Thank you for so beautifully and poignantly maintaining a focal point for this subject matter.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice small museum we'll worth the entry price. It's only a few rooms so doesn't take long to see everything, but some items like Keat's death mask and being able to stand in his old room are particularly special experiences. Not too busy either, recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small but mighty museum honoring the Romantics who loved the Eternal City. Yes, John Keats lived and died here, nursed by Joseph Severn.
However, while they’ve recreated his room (original materials were burned under Vatican law because they believed it could spread tuberculosis), the the recreation is wonderful and there is much more.
Autographed Shelley and Byron, Mary Shelley’s
writing desk, letters by Keats, poem drafts, pictures by Romantic painters. They even have Keats’s clay death mask.
Also some very beautiful views from the balcony and windows. It’s definitely a great place to visit in tandem with the non-Catholic cemetery (where Keats, Shelley, and Gregory Corso are buried). Welcome all fans of poetry.
