ended up staying a full afternoon. great painting collection. Pinacoteca is not that big and it could use an outside (or even inside) caffe for refreshments. still worth the visit
A brilliantly executed exhibition of the history of bolognese painters and the evolution of their styles. If you are interested in art, it is well worth a trip. The admission fee is also quite reasonable. We truly enjoyed our visit.
Some good paintings, but sadly a lot of pious mediocrity. Certainly not a must-see!At least the layout is much better than when I was last here 15 years ago.
A gallery that contains the city's most important art. Such artists here are Raffaello, Parmigianino and Perugino.
A pleasant and extensive art gallery, which gave me an appreciation for the Bolognese school (actually I thought there were several works there better than the highly touted Raphael)Without crowd, one can take some time with the art, and with a little effort learn something
A little further away from the center. Great collection of Italian medieval and renaissance paintings. Worth the walk, no question!
If you love early Renaissance paintings, and I do, the Pinacoteca will not disappoint. The collection is unusually large and unusually fine, and the pieces are all beautifully framed and displayed. This was a highlight of my time in Bologna.
There are a few beautiful Giotos and Tinttoretos that I really liked. The museum is nice and is defenetly worth a visit
The works are well displayed in a spacious Museum sparsely attended.They are arranged in chronological order and many are monumental in size including huge frescoes.Pictures without flash are allowed .
After visiting the Prado in March and making a return visit after several years to the National Gallery in Washington, DC, I have been especially enjoying seeing paintings this year. The National Picture Gallery is certainly world-class. The focus is more on artists active in Bologna; its not a comprehensive collection like the two museums mentioned above, but it contains superb items, including outstanding works by non-Bolognese artists such as Giotto (a magnificent Triptych), Rafael, Titian and Tintoretto. Very worthwhile!
