Fantastic exhibition of Modigliani's works - we spent a couple of hours learning about his life and works - what a super tour and in a beautiful building right next to the river Arne going through the middle of Pisa. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout.
Being scottish we had to visit here.. as it was free , we went as a respite from really hot afternoon when temperature was mid 30,s and Main Street busy. A very pleasant walk to admire not just the art ,sketches and furniture but also the rooms , decor /frescos etc it was very quiet we met only 2 people during our 1hour walk round . There was also a separate free science exhibition which was interesting with great electronic / computer visuals of solar system and story of astronomy discovery thro ages. A pleasant change from churches and queues of people.
Was a beautiful surprise; we had only one day in Pisa and this was like a gift, a wonderful exhibition worth alone taking the trip. Palazzo Blu displays of course other memorable things to see, but this exhibition is a top one.
This was a nice, interesting and free museum in a very nice building. Many nice paintings and....great rooms full of furniture and wallpaintings. In the basement there are nice high-tech exhibitions. We hardly saw people here.
An aristocrats palazzo, with the original tromp l'oleil decor, antique furniture, books and pictures. Amazing is not too strong a word. Very quiet when we were there, perhaps busier when there is an art exhibition on. Nice staff and either cheap or free, can't remember, but don't miss it.
Once you've done the Leaning Tower and the other attractions in that area, this is an interesting place to visit (right beside the River Arno). Until August there's an extremely interesting exhibition about scientific failures - and we're not particularly interested in science! And there's plenty of art and furniture to see too, and a very pleasant cafeteria.
The scientific exhibition is obviously temporary but visit if it still lasts! The cafe is a sort of hidden from the street and was a nice bonus after the exhibition!
I did not visit Palazzo Blu because the exhibition about Modigliani was too expensive for me. In the National Museum of San Matteo was an exhibition "Fake Modigliani Sculptures".The Palazzo is quite nice though.
Palazzo Blu had a three exhibits--paintings, the palace itself and the errors in science. Each was well done and interesting. It was free.
Brilliant- great building to see and also art work and furniture. Free of charge and by the river near the small spine church. worth a visit
