Guided tour of the Gallerie di Palazzo Leoni Montanari in Vicenza

The Gallerie di Palazzo Leoni Montanari represent one of the most refined museum hubs in Vicenza. Since 1999, the historic palace has been transformed into a permanent museum space, becoming a landmark for ancient art and major temporary exhibitions.

The museum is housed in the prestigious Palazzo Leoni Montanari, one of the city’s most important examples of Baroque architecture, featuring richly decorated interiors that are themselves an integral part of the visiting experience.

The permanent collections

The Galleries house three important permanent collections of exceptional historical and artistic value:

  • Collection of Greek and Magna Graecia vases, documenting the figurative and mythological culture of the ancient world
  • Collection of Russian icons, considered by scholars to be one of the most significant in the West due to its breadth, quality, and state of preservation
  • Collection of 18th-century Venetian painting, on permanent display for nearly twenty years, featuring works representative of the Serenissima’s great artistic era

The guided tour allows for an interpretation of the works in relation to their historical, religious, and cultural context, while also highlighting the dialogue between the collections and the palace’s Baroque spaces.

Temporary exhibitions and cultural activities

In addition to the permanent collections, the Gallerie di Palazzo Leoni Montanari offer an extensive program of temporary exhibitions, often linked to cultural initiatives of regional and national scope. This makes the museum a dynamic and ever-relevant space, capable of renewing its cultural offerings over time.
