Conferenze dei Musei Civici di Verona

The cycle of conferences of the Civic Museums is starting again, in collaboration with the University of Verona and with the support of the Amici Musei Civici di Verona Association. In almost fifty years, the series of conferences have represented the most direct training offer of the Museum Management on the subject of figurative arts, as regards restorations, exhibitions and other cultural events.

The calendar is structured between autumn 2024 and spring 2025 with a novelty: the conferences take place in the Conference Hall of the Palazzo della Gran Guardia and in the Galarossa Hall at the Museum of Frescoes "G.B. Cavalcaselle".
