All
the territory seems an exclusive and valuable exhibition, yet the many
museums visitors may feel intense and new emotions, while admiring
masterpieces that made Italy famous all over the world. Simple objects of
daily life are also displayed in Museums, as they are masterpieces of
men’s creative skills.
Le Marches’ artistic heritage
also comprises finds from the Piceni and Roman periods, and it is
distributed across the whole territory, both in large and small
exhibitions
The
National Gallery of the Marches is renowned all over the world, due
to the quality and quantity of the works displayed, and may be admired in
the splendid rooms of the Ducal Palace of Urbino. The National Museum
of the Marches in Ancona has recently been networked with other
archaeological museums of the region and contains the richest
archaeological documentation in the region. Pesaro offers valuable civic
collections (Picture gallery, Ceramics Museum, Oliveriano Museum),
Macerata grouped in a single building all its main cultural institutions (Picture
gallery, Archaeological Museum, Marches’ Museum of the Risorgimento and
Museum of carriages). Ascoli Piceno boasts a rich picture gallery, as
well as the Diocesan Museum and the Gallery of Modern Graphic
Art.
Villages
and towns also host collections ranging from classical archaeological,
historic and artistic exhibitions to collections linked to the region,
rural life and ancient professions. Fabriano hosts a Picture gallery full
of valuable works, along with the interesting Museum of paper and
filigree, Jesi boasts the Museum Colocci and the Diocesan
Museum, with examples of Renaissance paintings, and the Museum of
Printing.
The
collections hosted in smaller villages are equally interesting, examples
include the Accordion Museum in Castelfidardo, the Museum of the
art to make wine in Staffolo, The Hat Museum in Montappone, and
the charming Picture gallery of children’s art in Smerillo.
Along
with permanent exhibitions, many other exhibitions are periodically
organized in many villages and towns. All one has to do is choose, after
asking the Sybil who continues to pour magic powder over Le Marches’
territory.
