The Borghese Gallery (Italian: Galleria Borghese) is an art gallery in Rome, housed in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana, a building that was from the first a whole with its gardens, nowadays considered quite separately by tourists as the Villa Borghese gardens. The Galleria Borghese houses a substantial part of the Borghese collection of paintings, sculpture and antiquities, begun by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, the nephew of Pope Paul V (reign 1605 - 1621).

The Villa was built by the architect Flaminio Ponzio, developing sketches by Scipione Borghese himself.

Cardinal Scipione was drawn to any works of ancient, Renaissance and contemporary art which might re-evoke a new golden age. He was not particularly interested in medieval art, but passionately sought to acquire antique sculpture. He was so ambitious that he also promoted the creation of new sculptures and especially marble groups to rival antique works: such as the famous Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculptures . The Galleria Borghese includes twenty rooms across two floors.
