Admire the majestic Roman remains, discover its scenic Renaissance heart and the monumental Piazza della Vittoria, which tells of the time of World War II, but also hides many interesting and curious anecdotes. Bescia is a city waiting to be discovered.

Museo Diocesano di Brescia: Entrance ticket

Museo Diocesano di Brescia: Entrance ticket

Explore the Museo Diocesano di Brescia, located on Via Gasparo da Salò, just a few steps from Piazza Loggia, in the heart of the city. Discover the museum's permanent collection, which includes more than 2,000 works of painting and sculpture mainly from the Brescia and Veneto area. Admire the illuminated manuscripts section, which showcases the splendid hand-decorated manuscripts and the colorful miniatures that embellish the capilettera with animal, plant and floral ornaments. The specimens range from the 12th century to the mid-16th century. To the 15th century belong liturgical books (missals and breviaries) and musical books (antiphonaries and graduals), while the so-called 'Mariegola di Collio,' a booklet of the Confraternity of Saints Faustino and Giovita of the parish of Collio in Valtrompia whose first two papers are entirely illuminated by the Brescian painter Floriano Ferramola, is to be placed at the beginning of the 16th century. Discover the icons of Byzantine-Orthodox derivation, which are recognized as a fragment of the sacred and represent a true “window” open to mystery. This is an unprecedented journey of light and beauty that enjoys a revisited and revamped layout aimed at recounting this precious treasure by investigating its themes and iconography. Finally, the multisensory path TUTTO HA SENSO, which winds along the corridors of the permanent collection and invites visitors to discover (tactile, not just visual) important works, well reflects the museum's adoption of practices of museum accessibility and active, cross-cultural participation.
