Admission is free if you have already bought the ticket at the Palazzo Te, which the board because it is so beautiful. The visit allows you to have a glimpse of the cultural city of Mantua, view artifacts and works of high artistic value, a better idea of \u200b\u200bthe history of the city and its territory.
through the palace itself is striking, given that something is still left of the paintings inside, plus marble friezes heralds and city views. Many works are unfortunately lost, since over time the building became a barracks, hospital, hospital, school, recreation center.
The lodge entrance is in really nice. Originally overlooking the gardens, today there are sculptures that occupy the entire porch, recalling the relationship with water, which has always influenced the architecture of the town.
Besides the lodge there are two rooms, the room the Hedgehog and the chamber of the crucible, so named for the presence at the time the coat of arms of the King of France and Francesco II Gonzaga . There are exhibits of sculptures, friezes and other symbols of royalty.
The first and second floor (accessible by stairs to the elevator, but I recommend the stairs from first to second for the frescoes) are large rooms with floor. Here, too, sculptures, paintings, ornaments and artifacts that belonged to Francis II, including busts.
One room shows works of Roman origin, testifying to the taste of the King for the antiquities of Rome. There are also different busts, and a room houses the Throne of Virgil , from Asia Minor.
Council to look up at the ceiling, some are beautifully painted, even if only in small steps. The first floor also houses the frescoes (all nine), copies of Andrea Mantegna, in which there is also a big chair in the center. Are very large and occupy almost all the walls.
The second floor is devoted to the painting of 400 and 500, especially the works of Francis and Anthony Pavia Bonsignori. A zone, the final one is devoted to the Risorgimento, with small relics of the history of resistance valance.
a museum that probably would not have even seen if the ticket had not been included in the entrance of the Palazzo Te. Consider what is perhaps minor, but can give you a glimpse of the history of Mantua, though perhaps not as beautiful charm to visit the Palazzo Te.
The museum hosts temporary exhibitions and performances, such as workshops for children and teens.
