Interesting displays in a wonderful building. Some good art by local artists. On the negative side, few of the displays are labelled in other languages, so difficult for those who don't speak Italian More

The house itself is stunning inside with amazing ceilings, sculptures and pictures. The house has been extended into a neighbouring property and added to in stark modern style which suits the modern art displayed wonderfully. Sadly the cafe was not open but it is situated on the roof terrace and I should think would be a superb spot to take... More

As a bonus, there is a 2 and 1/2 floor space designed by Carlo Scarpa (one... More

This museum is the pride of Trieste (though, personally, we preferred the Sartorio Museum).

Absolutely deserted museum in a beautiful ex private home, complete with local masters, a few oddities, and a modern art section. Well worth a few hours. More

It was worth the walk to find this museum it is just off the main road along the seafront but give yourself lots of time to have a good look at all the exhibits. It was a good guide to how the people of Trieste lived in their good times. go to the Tourist information centre on the corner of... More
