The Palazzo Chiericati has been the historic home of the Civic Museum since 1855 and now houses the city's collections of paintings, sculptures and applied arts from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries. A masterpiece of Palladio's early maturity (1550), the building not only has decorations from that period but also holds important documents on Vicenza's art history. The Museum of Palazzo Chiericati reopened the Palladian wing on December 2013, after the restoration works. On the main floor, the visitor can enjoy the works of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, contemporary to the construction of the building. The attic hosts the Bequest of Marquis Giuseppe Roi: his personal collection of paintings, drawings and engravings from the fifteenth to the twentieth century, set in a charming display of house-museum. On the ground floor the visitor can admire, in a temporary exhibition, a selection of masterpieces of the collection not currently on display: Paolo Veneziano, Memling, Montagna, Fogolino, Sansovino, Tintoretto, Maffei and Pittoni. In the basement are located the works donated to the museum by the sculptor Nereo Quagliato.

Very beautiful museum and Palazzo that is worth the visit. Beautiful collection of art in addition to the Palazzo. There is an antique toy exhibit in the basement that is EXCEPTIONAL. I have never seen better anywhere in the world. I suggest you include this Palazzo in your visit to the Teatro Olimpico.

8. Museo Civico di Bassano del Grappa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 130 reviews
Ospitato nell’ex convento dei frati francescani, il Museo Civico di Bassano del Grappa è uno dei musei più antichi del Veneto e le sue prime collezioni artistiche risalgono al 1840, momento in cui affiancava, nei locali del convento, il Ginnasio, il Liceo Convitto e la Biblioteca. Attualmente ospita la più grande raccolta di opere di Jacopo Da Ponte, oltre all’ala dedicata ad Antonio Canova dove, tra i gessi e i busti, sono conservati quei monocromi che i grandi critici hanno definito come esito massimo della sua espressività artistica. Dal 2014 il Museo Civico può contare sulla nuova Galleria Civica destinata alle mostre temporanee oltre ad un’area specifica destinata alla didattica museale.

Elegantly housed in the cloisters of the former Franciscan monastery. 10 euros combined ticket for the museum and Palazzo Sturm. Open Mondays which is a bonus as many other museums have this as the 'rest' day. The excellent illustrated guide covers this museum and Bassano's other treasures. The Map spoke clearly- this is no small trip , an exciting voyage with some of the greats. Great Archaeological Section. The Parolini Room with Guariento di Arpo's 'signed' crucifix. The Da Ponte aka Bassano section includes a portrait of the great man himself. The Canova room is 'heads' above the rest with priceless monochromes found only here. On request , (I asked of course) his two precious albums can be viewed more closely. Swoon Time for me ! Could it get better ? A wall of Tiepolo. Then Hayez. Lotto. A Mantegna of San Sebastiano. Grubacs. Sacchi........the quality is astounding. Top that ? A room devoted to Bassano's famous Tito Gobbi .Original costumes with the odd Zeffirelli design here and there plus a screen examining each glorious creation with soundtrack to match. Bravo ! Even if you aren't into Art, the interior of this museum has to be viewed for the architecture alone. Superb Staff . Thanks to Alice and Claudio who know so much about the collection.
