City Museum Revoltella, Trieste

We went there in the middle of the day, when it was the warmest - inside the museum we’ve found great conditions: both physically (chill, nice) and mentally (amazing paintings & sculptures). I highly recommend visiting it, since it’s beautiful collection.

A fantastic experience beyond a classic art gallery!! Amazing collection of late 19th century and more contemporary paintings and sculptures. Interesting layout (start at the top and slowly descend into history). Highlights include a classic Pomodoro sculpture and Italian impressionists. History of the museum and its unique collection practices is also told through the art pieces on display. Enriching experience that goes beyond looking at the pictures. But the real highlight is the structure itself masterfully design by Scarpa to perfectly integrate art and the surrounding landscape. Nooks and glass walls offer glimpses of the beautiful Trieste bay, lines and corners integrate with the art for a real full five-sense immersion. Not to mention the rooftop terrace!! Make sure to visit the outdoor space on the 5th floor. It offers a breathtaking view of the full bay and the mountains! Friendly staff is a huge plus!! Thank you. A must visit if you're in Trieste!

Very interesting museum which is divided in two sections, the first section consists of a old furnished house and the second is a art gallery. The old house was incredible, the ceilings were heavenly and there were so many beautiful little details to look at. The art section was rather nice as well housing a wide variety of art including a nice exhibition with some gorgeous impressionist art pieces. World class museum for a nice price, did not harm the place that there was beautiful Italian girl walking in front of me either.

The museum has two parts: one as exposition of art pieces on the top floors, focused on impressionist painters and with some sculptures. We didn't find it amazing, but some paintings were quite nice. The second and best part of the museum is the palace rooms on the lower floors, which are a piece of art themselves. This is definitely worth visiting and interesting to discover a bit more about Pasquale Revoltella and the historic context.

A well curated collection of excellent Trieste born or based artists. It has both beautiful oil paintings and intriguing sculptures.
