Until what time is the museum open?
Aperto: ah-PEHR-to. Stress on the second syllable. The past participle of aprire — open.
Ask before entering or when planning your visit. Italian museums often close earlier than expected — many close at 7pm and last entry is typically 1 hour before closing.
Fino a che ora means 'until what time'. È aperto is 'is open'. Il museo is 'the museum'. Simple past-tense structure used as a question about the present.
A che ora chiude il museo oggi?
What time does the museum close today?
Alternative phrasing — same practical question.
È aperto il lunedì?
Is it open on Monday?
Many Italian state museums close on Mondays.
Qual è l'ultimo orario di ingresso?
What is the last admission time?
Always ask — last entry is often 30-60 mins before closing.
Italian museum closure patterns are complex: state museums often close on Mondays, private museums on Tuesdays, and many close for the entire month of August. The Uffizi and Vatican Museums stay open year-round but require advance booking in high season.
