Summary
The Civic Museum of Conegliano is located in the watchtower of the Castle, at the top of the Giano hill. It includes a rich picture gallery with paintings and frescoes coming from convents and churches in the surrounding area, a lapidarium, an archaeological section and numerous rooms displaying ancient geographic maps, weapons and late-Renaissance pieces of furniture.Collection history
The initial proposal to establish a municipal museum in Conegliano dates back to 1868; yet it was accomplished only in 1946 thanks to the commitment of Sir Antonio Tocchio. During the following years a committee made up citizens and headed by Sir Alfredo De Mas was established, which was able to collect a large amount of works of art and archaeological finds, so that in 1994 a fully-fledged archaeological section was added, which hosts the archaeological finds from the area around Conegliano.
