Museo civico Goffredo Bellini, museum in Italy

The Museo civico Goffredo Bellini is a history and archaeology museum in Asola, housed since 2006 in the restored Palazzo del Monte dei Pegni. Its rooms display fossils, stone, wood and ceramics arranged chronologically, from prehistoric finds to 20th-century works, alongside the parish sacred art collection of the Museo Tosio.

Goffredo Bellini (1870–1947), secretary of Asola's Congregazione di Carità, began assembling the collection in the early 1920s at the Monte dei Pegni, where it was open to the public even while privately owned. After his death it passed to the municipality and moved to the Scuola Media Schiantarelli, then in 1972 to the basement of the elementary school in Viale Brescia, and between 1992 and 1994 to the Palazzo Municipale. In 2006, after restoration, the Monte dei Pegni building became the museum's home again.

The museum is named after Goffredo Bellini (1870-1947), secretary of Asola's Congregazione di Carità, who began gathering objects at the Monte dei Pegni and arranged them into seven sections, from archaeology to natural history. His collection was open to the public even while privately owned, and after his death it passed to the municipality.

The museum occupies the Palazzo del Monte dei Pegni, which became its home again in 2006 after restoration; it had earlier moved through the Schiantarelli school, a primary school basement in Viale Brescia, the Palazzo Municipale and via Turbini. The mineralogical section, some six hundred minerals donated by Elda Sandrin and Cesare Piubeni, is shown on request. The sacred art collection of the annexed Tosio parish museum occupies one wing.

The museum's most valuable pieces were bought by Bellini himself: the Egyptian Stele of Kewej, from the First Intermediate Period (late 3rd millennium BC), and an Attic black-figure kylix from the late 6th century BC. A mineralogical section with 600 minerals from the Elda Sandrin and Cesare Piubeni donation is shown on request.
