Villa Colloredo Mels Museum

Villa Colloredo Mels Museum is an art and archaeological museum in Recanati displaying paintings, ancient artifacts, and archaeological finds. The collections are organized across multiple exhibition spaces spanning from prehistoric times to modern artworks.

The building was originally a medieval residence and underwent neoclassical remodeling in the late 18th century. This transformation shaped the architectural form the museum displays today.

The Renaissance galleries display works by Lorenzo Lotto and contemporaries that shaped the artistic life of the town. These paintings and altarpieces show how religious and secular art influenced the community's daily experience.

The museum provides complete wheelchair accessibility throughout all exhibition areas and facilities. Visitors should allow sufficient time to explore the varied collections spanning different periods and artistic traditions.

The archaeological section displays how prehistoric people lived from the Neolithic period through the Iron Age using an extensive collection of tools and everyday objects. These artifacts provide insight into the daily routines and development of early communities.
