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 by introducing them to the origins of the People from Monza. The visit continues through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Modern Age. The artworks kept in the museum show some streets, places and characteristic moments of the city: for example, the Arengario and Piazza Trento e Trieste, where street markets made them busy with swarming visitors and traders. The artworks describe not only events or places, but also personalities such as 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 trail that allows visitors to 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 that could induce sensory overload.
