Museums

In this section you can find information about the Museums in the Province of Lucca.
The aim is to show the variety and wealth of heritage kept in our museums, particularly those in out of the way and less known places, often unique in their kind. The selection shown here stresses the integration between the territory and its museums providing connections to other sections and so reconstructing an ideal unity of context. So, the “museum” files offer links to the “exhibitions” and “events” sections – when the exhibitions are held in a museum – or to the “archaeological sites” section, when the collection of exhibits in a specific museum helps us to reconstruct the original stratification of a site on account their origin.
