Guided tour of the collections of the Tridentine Diocesan Museum
The Tridentine Diocesan Museum offers individual visitors and small groups a guided tour of its permanent collection. The guided tour, included in the museum’s admission ticket, offers the opportunity to discover the extraordinary heritage of art and culture kept in the rooms of Palazzo Pretorio. Close to San Vigilio Cathedral, Palazzo Pretorio was residence to the Prince-Bishops of Trento in the Upper Middle Ages.
Established in 1903, the Tridentine diocesan museum features a noteworthy artistic and cultural heritage ranging from the 11th to the 19th century: paintings, wooden sculptures, panel altars, illustrated manuscripts, fabulous Flemish tapestries, as well as a selection of vestments and the treasure of the Cathedral. All the collections are arranged in chronologial order, by author or by cultural ambit, and there are further readings on the works on display and multimedia stations.
The exhibition pathway in the museum is enriched by an impressive passage, that allows you to observe the nearby cathedral of San Vigilio from above.
