Museo della Città "Luigi Tonini"

Housed in a restored Jesuit college beside Piazza Ferrari, the Museo della Città “Luigi Tonini” threads Rimini’s history through a single, walkable shell. Cloisters and staircases that once served a college and then a hospital now lead you past Roman mosaics, inscriptions and the extraordinary instruments from the Domus del Chirurgo, into galleries of Trecento panels and Baroque canvases by Bellini, Ghirlandaio, Guercino, Cagnacci and others. The route runs vertically: deep time and Roman rooms below, medieval stones and painted stories above. Alongside art and archaeology sit documents on local healthcare, folding the building’s own hospital past into the display. It feels less like a storehouse than a city-scale biography written in rooms and objects.

Really a museum not to be missed and perfectly complements the Surgeon's House that is included in the price. For a city museum, even allowing the rich history that Rimini and so many Italian cities have, i was struck by the depth and breadth of the exhibits which are carefully and thoughtfully curated to dig into and tell the story of Rimini's history. Even being in there for nearly 2 hours we ran out of time and missed out on one level and some of the archealogy we had to do at pace. There are some truly spectacular mosaics here, its great to see the recreations of the Surgeon's house, but as a British tourist its always great to see and understand more about Italy's rich and less covered medieval history.

Really worth visiting. Museum has artifacts ranging from ancient to current times. It took us three hours to see it all. Temporary exhibition was stunning too. People working there are really friendly and helpful, even if not all of them speak English. If you plan to visit, be aware of the siesta from 1 PM till 4 PM and get yourself lunch in one of nearby restaurants

It was nice to visit the museum after the visiting the Surgeons house as we have seen the reconstruction house of the ancient site, and the original objects including the medical instruments. The museum houses a lot of mosaics, art paintings, tapestries and frescoes from early Middle Ages to 15th century. Is located in the old Jesuit monastery, and is on 4 floors. There's a lift too, on all floors. Opening times: From Tuesday to Sunday and holiday: 10.00 am - 1.00 pm and 4 pm - 7 pm Closed on working Mondays On July and August also on Wednesday and Friday evening: from 9 am to 11 pm

Fantastic museum and much larger than expected so leave yourself plenty of time. I loved how detailed the displays were and very much appreciated the English translations! The docents were very friendly and chatty- telling us about their favourite pieces.

The State Museum of San Marino, or Museo di Stato, can be a worthwhile visit for those interested in the history, culture, and art of San Marino. The museum provides insights into San Marino's rich heritage, covering archaeological finds, historical artifacts, and artworks that span various periods. It offers a cultural experience, showcasing the artistic and historical aspects of this small and unique republic. If you have an interest in archaeology, the museum features artifacts from prehistoric and Roman times, giving you a glimpse into the early history of the region. The ethnographic section provides a look into the daily life, traditions, and customs of the people of San Marino. If you have an interest in coins and currency, the numismatic section displays historical currencies used in San Marino.

A very decent place, 4 floors of history of the area and an unbelievable archeological site. Highly recommended

Great museum, very well invested, huge selection of artifacts with modern display. I hope more people will visit here. Staff are kind, helpful and very friendly 😊
