Museo Storico Del Risorgimento Agostino Bianchi

The museum displays the donation to the Town of Montichiari of an important art collection of the Counts Piero and Luigi Lechi, descendants of the famous Napoleonic generals nd enlightened collectors from Brescia. In May 2005 they decided to link their names to a museum able to preserve and enhance the approximately 350 works of art including paintings, drawings, prints and porcelain which were inherited from their family or acquired in years of antiquarian research. The 14 rooms of the exhibition, full of comprehensive educational equipment, focus on paintings from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth Century with important works of the Lombard School, with artists such as Alessandro Bonvicino called Moretto and Giacomo Ceruti called Pitocchetto, as well as major episodes of seventeenth-century Roman painting (Gaulli) and Genoa (Magnasco) or Brescia genre painting.

Il Museo Archeologico PAST si trova a Montichiari, Brescia, e ospita l'allestimento permanente "Pietre antiche della pianura bresciana", inaugurato il 4 maggio 2019. Questo museo illustra la storia della Bassa Bresciana, un'area abitata fin dalla preistoria grazie a favorevoli condizioni geomorfologiche e alla ricchezza idrica della zona. Le attività didattiche, come laboratori e itinerari, sono progettate per coinvolgere le scuole e i visitatori, rendendo l'esperienza educativa e interattiva. Il museo è un punto di riferimento per la valorizzazione del patrimonio archeologico e storico del territorio. Generated from the website

The Pinacoteca Pasinetti is housed in an elegant neoclassical building where you will also find the Library. This was originally the site of a church in the Sixteenth Century. Inside there are over one hundred works painted by Antonio Pasinetti (1863-1940) who was born in Montichiari. When still very young, he moved to Milan where he became a sought- after portrait painter. He became a friend of Italian artists of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, including Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo and Arturo Tosi. The exhibition itinerary goes from elegant portraits for the Milanese bourgeoisie of the Belle Epoque, to the landscapes painted in the freedom of en plein air experience. It continues with the sensitive matter of social painting, dealt by the artist with intimate intonation. The second floor is dedicated to the relationship between sketches and finished works as well as the history of the family portraits.
