Civic Pinacotheca of Reggio Calabria, Art museum in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
The Civic Pinacotheca is an art museum located on the first floor of Teatro Cilea displaying paintings and artworks in elegantly designed exhibition spaces. The rooms feature faux marble walls, decorative stucco work, and ornate Murano glass chandeliers.
The museum developed from collections of a former civic institution established in 1882 that closed in 1948 when the city underwent significant cultural changes. The artworks were later reorganized and displayed in this new setting.
The collection reflects the artistic heritage of the region through works by local and Italian painters from different periods. Walking through the rooms shows how art has been valued and understood in this southern Italian city.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday during established hours. The building is easy to navigate and equipped with modern accessibility features that allow guests of all mobility levels to view the collection comfortably.
The collection includes two wooden panels by Antonello da Messina from the 15th century depicting religious subjects that came from a noble family's holdings. These rare works by the renowned painter are among the museum's most treasured possessions.
