Luigi Marzoli Arms Museum

The Luigi Marzoli Arms Museum exhibits a collection of 700 weapons and armor pieces displayed across ten exhibition rooms on two levels.

The museum opened in 1988 following the donation of Luigi Marzoli's collection, which included artifacts from the 15th century through the early 19th century.

The collection includes helmets, swords, halberds, and firearms that demonstrate the strong metalworking traditions of the Brescia region through centuries.

Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Friday between 9:00 and 17:00, while weekend hours extend from 10:00 to 18:00, with closures on Mondays.

The museum occupies the Visconti Tower, where medieval frescoes and remnants of an ancient Roman temple remain visible in the lower sections.
