Palazzo Zuckermann

Palazzo Zuckermann is a three-story building in Padua containing two museums with collections of decorative arts, paintings, and historical objects. The spaces display glassware, textiles, furniture, ceramics, and one of Europe's largest coin collections.

The building was constructed between 1912 and 1914 by architect Filippo Arosio and initially functioned as the city's main post office. Following its role as an administrative center, it was transformed into a museum.

The palace is named after the industrialist who commissioned its construction and serves as an important gathering place for art lovers in the city. Locals frequently visit to experience displays of traditional crafts that shaped the region's identity.

The building is located near the Scrovegni Chapel and is easily reached on foot from the city center. Visitors should know that the building is wheelchair accessible and allows for extended browsing of the collections.

The second museum within the building holds over 100,000 ancient coins from different periods and cultures. This collection draws coin scholars and historians from across Europe.
