Museum Venanzo Crocetti, Art and house museum in northern Rome, Italy.
Museum Venanzo Crocetti is an art museum in northern Rome housed in the former studio and residence of the Italian sculptor. The space displays over one hundred bronze sculptures, marble works, paintings, and documents created between 1930 and 1998 arranged across five exhibition rooms.
The location originated as the main studio of the Italian sculptor after he received a major commission in 1951. This assignment to create bronze doors for Saint Peter's Basilica brought him international recognition and shaped the remainder of his artistic career.
The sculptor's works show how religious and secular themes were intertwined throughout his career spanning seven decades. Visitors can observe the connection between his personal spaces and the artistic choices he made in his studio.
The museum can be visited on weekdays with restricted hours and offers extended hours on Saturdays. It helps to plan your visit in advance and check current opening times before coming.
The sculptor's residence was preserved with its original furniture, showing the personal rooms where he lived until 2003. This blend of living and working space offers a rare window into the daily life of a modern artist.
