Verona Art Galleries

(Verona, Veneto, Italy)

The works of Verona's best-known artists are displayed in a number of notable art galleries. One of the best galleries is without doubt the Museo Pinacoteca Canonicale, on the Piazza Duomo, where historical art works are displayed in all their glory.

The Civico Museo d'Arte di Castelvecchio is yet another of Verona's art galleries and boasts a series of sculptures from the 14th and 15th centuries. For a touch of Greece, the Greek reliefs at the Lapidario Museum Maffeiano on the Piazza Brà may also be of interest.
