Discovering the collections of the Museo Diocesano Tridentino
Every Friday in February the Museo Diocesano Tridentino (Tridentine Diocesan Museum) proposes a themed guided visit to its collections and to little-known aspects of the artworks kept in the halls of Palazzo Pretorio.
Capolavori dal nord. Gli arazzi fiamminghi di Bernardo Clesio (Masterpieces from the North. Bernardo Clesio's Flemish tapestries)
With Luca Mattedi
The splendid tapestries in the Museo Diocesano Tridentino, depicting the Stories of the Passion of Christ, were bought by Bernardo Clesio in Antwerp to furnish his residence in the Buonconsiglio Castle.
The guided visit will be an opportunity to learn in detail about the history and production processes of these fascinating gold wire artefacts, and at the same time to discover the collecting tastes of the prince-bishop, an undisputed protagonist of the Tridentine Renaissance period and a leading figure in the religious and political history of the 16th century.
The guided tour costs € 3,00 per person.
Free admission for the museum's season ticket holders, who will furthermore receive a small present: the catalogue of the exhibition Sidival Fila. Opere (Sidival Fila. Works), curated by Domenica Primerano and Riccarda Turrina (Trento, 2019).
Booking required by email to: valentinaperini@mdtn.it.
For safety reasons, the maximum number of participants is 15 people.
