The Palazzo together with Piazza Grande and the Palazzo del Podestà form one of the most majestic and audacious building projects carried out in the Middle Ages. The ancient seat of government can be visited in its entirety and it constitutes Gubbio’s major museum.
The museum collection is laid out on the different floors of the Palazzo and illustrates local history and culture from the VI century B.C. to the XX century A.D.
The Iguvine Tables, renowned throughout the world, are of outstanding importance and form the nucleus of one of the richest archaeological collections in Umbria. The pottery exhibits are mainly characterised by the production of Renaissance lustre-ware from the workshop of Mastro Giorgio Andreoli. The Art Gallery, situated on the main floor, has a wealth of paintings on canvas and wood chiefly by Umbrian artists dating from the 13th to the 19th centuries. The Museum also has exhibits of coins, objects from the Risorgimento and a collection of Indo-Tibetan Art.
The educational offer of LEARNING AT THE MUSEUM is divided into proposals that refer to three different spaces and that propose different visiting and educational itineraries:
- Civic Museum of Palazzo dei Consoli: it will be the seat of educational activities with particular reference to those related to the collections hosted and to those that intend to enhance medieval Gubbio.
- Palazzo Ducale: the proposed activities are part of a didactic enhancement path of the main monuments and historical-artistic itineraries of the city of Gubbio promoted by the Management of Palazzo Ducale and by the Municipality of Gubbio.
- area of the Roman Theater and Antiquarium: the remains of the Roman Theater and the finds of the Antiquarium constitute a precious opportunity to learn about the social organization of the Roman city of Iguvium – Gubbio from the places of entertainment to those of living, which reveal the tastes, uses and customs of that period.
All the proposals make explicit the idea that the link between school and cultural institutions is essential to offer a complete and integrated training. The suggested itineraries and experiences, increasingly rich and articulated, allow you to discover, know and understand the historical, artistic, architectural, cultural and naturalistic heritage of the territory. The activities will take place from 4 November 2022 to 30 May 2023 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
