Museo diocesano Francesco Gonzaga, Religious art museum in Mantua, Italy

The Museo diocesano Francesco Gonzaga is housed in the former Augustinian convent of Sant'Agnese in Mantua. Its rooms are arranged in six sections: picture gallery, treasury, coins, armour, tapestries and ceramics. The picture gallery holds paintings and sculptures, among them works by Correggio, Mantegna and the largest collection of Giuseppe Bazzani's paintings.

The museum opened in 1974 as a temporary exhibition titled Tesori d'arte nella terra dei Gonzaga and was inaugurated as a permanent museum in 1983, housed in the former Augustinian convent of Sant'Agnese. It is named after Francesco Gonzaga, a Franciscan friar who was bishop of Mantua from 1593 to 1620. Roberto Brunelli directed it from 2013 to 2022.

This museum occupies a former Augustinian monastery and displays religious artworks from churches throughout the Mantua region, including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, and textiles. The collection shows how deeply sacred art was woven into the lives of local communities.

The museum is housed in the former Augustinian convent of Sant'Agnese in Mantua, with sections arranged across a picture gallery, treasury, coin, armour, tapestry and ceramics rooms. The ceramics collection, about seventy pieces gathered by painters Domenico and Vindizio Nodari Pesenti, was inaugurated on 1 October 2016 and is the most recent addition.

The armour section comes from ex-votos: after the 1495 victory at Fornovo, commanders and soldiers of Gianfrancesco Gonzaga's militia gave their armour to the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie at Curtatone. Recovered and restored, the pieces are the work of Milanese and Brescian armourers, among them the Missaglia workshop.
