Civic Museum of Palazzo Buonaccorsi

The Palazzo Buonaccorsi is an art museum in downtown Macerata housing three distinct collections across its floors. Visitors can explore a Carriage Museum housed underground, view ancient artworks in the Aeneid Gallery, and see Modern Art exhibitions displayed in the upper rooms.

Construction of the building began in 1697 when existing structures were combined following designs by Roman architect Giovan Battista Contini, a student of Bernini. This merger of separate buildings created a spacious palace that would eventually become home to its art collections.

The Modern Art collection shows how regional artists from Marche developed their work during the 19th century and beyond. You can see how local artistic expression evolved through different periods and styles over time.

The museum features wheelchair accessibility throughout all levels, allowing easy movement through every section. It is part of the Macerata Museums network, which offers combined tickets for visiting multiple locations in the city.

A distinctive feature is the underground Carriage Museum containing around 24 historical carriages arranged in thematic zones. This collection is enhanced by interactive displays and equestrian artifacts that illustrate how people once traveled and lived.
