Musei civici di Treviso

The Musei civici di Treviso occupy several interconnected historic buildings, including a former convent with two cloisters and multiple exhibition halls. The collection ranges from Bronze Age artifacts to Renaissance paintings spread across different sections of the complex.

The museum was founded in 1879 to gather artworks that document the region's artistic history. After suffering damage during World War II, it underwent major rebuilding and reopened in 1952.

The museum displays works by major Venetian artists like Lotto and Tizian in rooms that once belonged to a convent. These artworks show how local artistic traditions developed and shaped the region over time.

The museum spans multiple buildings that you can explore separately, each featuring different art collections. Getting an orientation map helps you understand how the sections connect and move between them.

The Museo Luigi Bailo houses the world's largest collection of works by sculptor Arturo Martini in specially designed exhibition spaces. This extensive collection makes it a destination for anyone interested in modern Italian sculpture.
