MUSEUMS
IN PARMA
Pinacoteca “Giuseppe
Stuard” (Art Gallery):
is housed in the ex Benedictine Monastery of San Paolo,
in Borgo Parmiginanino. The renewed structure was opened
in 2002 and the convention complex has become a cultural
pole of the City and the seat of the “City Museums.”
The exhibition route unfolds through 22 different ambiences
on two floors and includes more than 300 works.
Storica Spezieria di S. Giovanni Evangelista (Historical
Apothecary Shop):
is located at N°1 Borgo Pipa, next to the Benedictine
Monastery. The Apothecary Shop exists since 1201 and was
run by the Benedictines until the end of 1766. It was then
re-opened to the public in 1959. The present day structure
dates back to the 17th Century and still has original wooden
furnishings.
Camera della Badessa (Camera del Correggio):
walking around the Benedictine convent, in Via Melloni,
visitors will come across the so called Camera della Badessa,
a private apartment of Badessa Giovanna from Piacenza, with
its frescoes by Antonio Allegri, better known as Correggio,
dating back to between 1514 and 1519; here he produced one
of the absolute masterpieces of 16th Century painting.
Palazzo della Pilotta (Pilot Building):
dominating Piazza della Pace in the very heart of the Ducal
of Parma with its magnificence. The name comes from a game
called the “Pelota” which was played in the
courtyards. The external structure makes it look like an
unfinished addition of more volume and construction, initiated
in the second half of the 16th Century and carried out until
the end of the changes of the 1700’s. Housed in its
vast interior visitors can enjoy the National Archaeological
Museum, the Palatina Library, the National Gallery (particularly
important for its artworks from the 16th Century, containing
some amazing masterpieces) and the marvellous Farnese Theatre
with its wooden structure dating back to 1617/18.
