Musei Civici of Monza

The Musei Civici of Monza tell the history of the city, from its foundation up to nowadays. The Altar of the Modiciates welcomes all the visitors and introduces them to the origins of the People from Monza. The visit continues through Middle Age, Renaissance and Modern Age. The artworks kept in the museum show some streets, places and monuments that represent characteristic city life: for example, the Arengario and Piazza Trento e Trieste, where street markets made them busy with swarming visitors and traders. The artworks don’t tell only about events or places only, but also about outstanding people like Mosé Bianchi, a major artist from Monza whose statue dominates Piazza San Pietro Martire.

The Museo per tutti guide of Musei Civici di Monza offers a path that allows visitors approach artworks with a relaxed and concentratred attitude, thanks to the eye-guiding descriptions through details that reveal their beauty. The guide gives also the opportunity to carry out activities in the city: every time a detail of Monza appears on a painting, the guide points out the opportunity to go see that particular detail live, with the help of the relevant city centre map. The museum is totally accessible thanks to the lift facility and has no elements tha could induce sensory overload.
