Civic Museum of Ancient Art

Pistoia’s civic art collection

The Museo Civico d’Arte Antica is housed inside the Palazzo Comunale, directly on Piazza del Duomo. It is one of the best places to understand the artistic identity of Pistoia through paintings, sculptures and works connected with the city’s churches and historic institutions.

The visit is ideal for travellers who want to go beyond the monuments outside and discover the cultural life that shaped the city over the centuries. The setting itself, inside the historic civic palace, adds to the experience.

Include it in a slow itinerary around Piazza del Duomo, especially if you enjoy medieval and Renaissance art, local history and quiet museum spaces.
