Revoltella Museum

The Revoltella Museum is a modern art museum in central Trieste housed within three interconnected buildings dedicated to exhibitions. The spaces display paintings and sculptures spanning from the 19th century through today.

Baron Pasquale Revoltella founded the museum in 1872 by donating his residence along with his art collection, furnishings, and a large library to the city of Trieste. The building was later expanded and now combines historic rooms with contemporary exhibition spaces.

The museum holds works by Italian artists across different periods, showing how artistic approaches to form and expression evolved over time. The collection reflects the regional creative tradition and offers direct access to the creativity of different artistic generations.

The museum is located on Via Diaz and is fully accessible for all visitors with mobility needs. Plan for at least a few hours to properly explore the different floors and collections without rushing.

The Brunner palace section arranges 19th-century Italian paintings on one floor and early 20th-century works on another level. This layout lets visitors directly compare stylistic shifts and artistic developments between the periods.
