The Museum of Castelvecchio hosts important mediaeval, renaissance and modern art collections (up to the 18th century): 29 exhibition halls with paintings, sculptures, artefacts, weapons pieces on display: 622 in specialised Cabinets: about 90,000 pieces between coins and medals, 2,650 drawings, 8,000 prints, 800 photographic plates in storage: 2,500 paintings, about 500 sculptures and bronzes, about 800 decorative furniture and artistic pieces, 300 weapons and 200 pieces from the ethnographic collection.
In addition to the exhibition halls, the Drawings and Prints Cabinet and the Numismatics Cabinet, the museum includes: management office, administrative and technical offices, general archive, photo library, temporary exhibition room, catalogue store, craft workshops. The restoration works began at the end of the 1950s and were managed by Licisco Magagnato, director of the Museum, and architect Carlo Scarpa. In close collaboration, they planned a philological restoration of the areas, choosing and placing art pieces that were functionally and emotionally closer to their idea of a museum as a complete artistic creation. Since then, the Museum of Castelvecchio has been a reference point.
