Museo Civico Pier Alessandro Garda

The archaeological section gathers evidence of the city and its territory from the Neolithic age to the late medieval period.
The Oriental collection is the fruit of the personal collection of Pier Alessandro Garda, consisting of over 500 works donated to the city in 1874, and the collection of Palazzo Giusiana, the museum's first home.

The collection contains a rich variety of objects made of different materials: metal, porcelain, lacquer, paper, silk, wood, bamboo, ivory and glass dating from the Edo and early Meiji periods.
The Croff collection consists of paintings by artists fundamental to the history of Italian art donated by Mrs Lucia Guelpa.

There are about fifty paintings and drawings, including some true masterpieces: the 14th-century painting Crucifixion with Saints by Giovanni del Biondo, the intense Portrait of a Man by Annibale Carracci, the famous La Superbiosa by Filadelfo Simi, the unusual Peaches on the branch and Woods of laurels by Giorgio De Chirico, and the masterful Portrait of Cinciarda by Pietro Annigoni. The museum hosts exhibitions.
