Palazzo San Francesco, Local museum in Domodossola, Italy
The Palazzo San Francesco spans three floors, featuring natural science exhibits, archaeological artifacts, and an art gallery displaying regional artistic developments since the 1600s.
The building originated as a church and monastery in 1200, dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi, and underwent transformation into a museum following Napoleonic suppressions.
The museum preserves significant regional heritage through collections of religious art, carved wooden sculptures, and paintings from artists of the Vigezzo Valley school.
The museum operates Thursday through Sunday, with summer hours from 10 AM to 7 PM and winter hours from 10 AM to 6 PM, offering guided tours lasting 50 minutes.
The archaeological section displays items from the tomb of Ossola warrior Claro Fuenno alongside Ancient Egyptian artifacts and prehistoric collections.
