Eremitani Museums

Eremitani Museums offer one of the most rewarding cultural experiences in Padua, bringing together archaeology, art, and history in a well-organized and engaging space. Located next to the Chiesa degli Eremitani and close to the Scrovegni Chapel, the museum complex is easy to combine with other major highlights in the city. The collections are diverse and thoughtfully curated. Highlights include the Archaeological Museum, with Roman artifacts, mosaics, and sculptures that tell the story of ancient Padua, and the Museum of Medieval and Modern Art, featuring works by Venetian and Paduan masters. The layout is spacious, making it comfortable to explore without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Seriously... Such a big place and NO ENGLISH descriptions. Translating everything on phone is impossible for place this big. Such a shame in a tourists place like Padova! Especially that ticket is super expensive. Also "models", not a real things to see.

Free entry as part of your ticket to Scrovegni Chapel. It's a big rambling museum with pockets of gold that can be tiring to find. There's a good casual cafe that's worth a visit as a welcome spot to refresh and restore your energy. We were there for an exhibition that seemed to me like C20 guff. The most interesting aspect was the poster.

Great museum with lots of beautiful art! In the gallery there was a lot of renassiance paintings. Some of them were really huge! The archeology museum was great also! It featured roman mossaic and egyptian mummies 🤯

An excellent collection of finds and excavated material, presented in a reasonably logical way. The museum is traditional, in that it is static with little or no recreation of past local cultures. No visit map or audio guide available. Investment is needed in new museum presentation technology and techniques.

Excellent collection of archaeological artifacts and Italian art. You can find works of Giotto, Guariento, Bellini, Vivarini, Tintoretto and many others. Highly recommended

A hidden gem in the Veneto region; this museum boasts minor works of art compared to bigger Venice museums, however they are 1) many, 2) chronologically arranged, 3) very representative of Venetian art in the XVII century!

An ok museum but nothing to compare with say Firenza, Venezia and Aquileia museums. I find this museum full of very irrelevant art pieces with maybe some minor local historical relevance. Unfortunatelly this is for italian speaking people only. This place sees no people from other parts of the world entering in hundreds everyday. Such a shame. Also, there were to many nervous and assertive employees with zero warmth in their eyes. I would go even further in describing negatives of this frustrated personnel, but I think that they just don’t like other people and hate their job. Be sure to triple check everything before paying because there is a time limited program to see Cappella degli Scrovegni. Also be sure that it will be a short experience there with only little available space for observing frescoes. This museum visit is not a must in Padova. There are so many other things to do first. Leave this as a last option.
