Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria

Fodor's Review:

The region's most comprehensive art gallery is housed on the fourth floor of the Palazzo dei Priori. Enhanced by skillfully lit displays and computers that allow you to focus on the works' details and background information, the collection includes work by native artists—most notably Pintoricchio (1454-1513) and Perugino (circa 1450-1523)—and others of the Umbrian and Tuscan schools, among them Gentile da Fabriano (1370-1427), Duccio (circa 1255-1318), Fra Angelico (1387-1455), Fiorenzo di Lorenzo (1445-1525), and Piero della Francesca (1420-92). In addition to paintings, the gallery has frescoes, sculptures, and some superb examples of crucifixes from the 13th and 14th centuries. Some rooms are dedicated to Perugia itself, showing how the medieval city evolved.

  • Cost: EUR 6.50
  • Open: Tues.-Sun. 8:30-7:30; last admission ½ hr before closing.
