Rome Day 3 National Gallery Modern Art

We visited the oldest pharmacy in Rome. The pharmacy was run by more than a hundred Carmalite Friars, making lotions, potions and even alcoholic beverages since the 15th century. It was a working pharmacy right up to 1957 until they closed but the fittings, furnishings, herbs, medicines and frescoes were still intact.
We had one of the Carmalite Friars do the tour in English.
We then went to the National Gallery of Modern Art. Artworks were displayed in themes and not chronologically. There was a Klimt, a Degas, a Hayez, a Van Gogh, a Pollack and other wonderful artists, beautiful sculptures of Antonio Cavona and Alfonso Balzico. Then there were also some bizarre installations.
