Museums in Umbria

If art and culture are wearing thin, or the kids are craving something different, then the Mummy Museum in Umbria will do nicely.

Alberto Burri's extensive collection of contemporary art spreads across two spacious facilities in Citta' di Castello.

The civic art museum in Citta' di Castello is one of Umbria's premier museums, housed in a Renaissance palace.

The upper Tiber Valley has long had an unusual agricultural heritage, that of cultivating tobacco.

You can learn about the creation of the beautiful woven textiles and purchase the hand-made products at the Tela Umbra Workshop and Museum.

In the charming hamlet of Montone, you'll find the impressive Civic Museum of San Francesco, housed in a former monastery.

The splendid cathedral of Citta di Castello is a work of art in its own right, but there are more treasures in the adjacent museum.

At the height of old town Gubbio next to the Cathedral is the distinctive Ducal Palace built by the Dukes of Urbino.

Spoleto has a wealth of ancient sites strewn throughout the city, remains of the Roman city of Spoletium.
