Museo Civico Gipsoteca Bistolfi, Casale Monferrato

Fantastic museum and we also had a personal tour by a student named Veronica who made the whole thing even better! We went on a Monday, but it isn't usually open on Mondays, as most shops etc aren't in Italy. Great variety of artwork set in the ground of an old Augustinian Monastery, where you can still see the 'lunettes' which are paintings in a triptic structure telling moral stories. Inside the vast majority is paintings apart from in the Gipoteca which is sculpture - great to see how they process of sculptures were made by the exhibition. Really worth having someone explain everything as you go round and it was wonderful having the place to ourselves! Very reasonably priced as well, definitely recommend!

What can I say… WONDERFUL! I was lucky enough to happen on a day when admission was free but I can say that for 1.30 hours you can see the whole museum and that the price is absolutely worth the expense. You can admire many rooms full of paintings and be enchanted by the works of Bistolfi. Recommended if you pass by Casale.

Civic museum spread over 3 floors and with three types of exhibition On the first floor where there is the ticket office with really polite and kind girls there is the art gallery which ranges from the fifteenth century to the early twentieth century On the ground floor there is the huge Bistolfi plaster cast gallery In the basement you will find the collection of travel memories of Carlo Vidua Very interesting museum with unique works

Small museum but very well maintained and pleasant to visit.

Very beautiful, full of important works of several centuries. Spacious and well distributed. If I may give you some advice... the lighting should be corrected, too many works have reflections of light that don't allow you to admire their colours.
