This Italian City Looks Frozen in the Middle Ages—and It’s World-famous for Chocolate

"Inside the historic Palazzo dei Priori, this museum is a treasure trove of medieval art; as Marta Cucchia told me, "The Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria has a special place in my heart because there are original medieval tablecloths from the 14th and 15th centuries," and, in her view, "it’s a must‑visit spot to understand the history of the city." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome.

The Galleria Nazionale is an essential stop for anyone who appreciates Italian art at its purest. Home to masterpieces by Perugino, Pinturicchio and Bernini sculptures, it offers a serene atmosphere far from the usual crowds. Spend 2-3 unhurried hours exploring luminous Renaissance rooms in near silence. The most rewarding moment to visit is between 12:30 and 14:30, when both locals and tourists break for lunch, leaving the galleries wonderfully quiet and deeply enjoyable.

The gallery is definitely worth a visit when in Perugia! We went for the Modigliani exhibition and spent about an hour exploring. Really enjoyed it. Only thing—they could improve the signs a bit. It was a little confusing getting around and finding the exit.

Truly spectacular gallery with astonishing works of art dating from the 13th to 19th centuries. The only down side is they don't allow you to carry water in. You have to admire the works of art while completely perched. It's hard to understand what's the reason behind this ridiculous policy. People are going to splash their drinking water on the paintings?

Honestly I was a bit sceptical when I got in and bought a ticket, at €12. But must say this is much bigger than I thought, well spaced out and lots of religious art, I usually go round galleries quite quickly anyway, but would say I spent 90 minutes maybe a little bit more walking round this gallery. I think there could be a bit more here but it honestly exceeded my expectations.

Wonderful experience at the Gallery. Very high quality, well-presented set of (mostly religious, pre-XVIIth century) works. The works are presented in a coherent chronological fashion, and put in their historical and artistic context (who influenced whom etc.) without drowning the visitor. Explanations are available in both Italian and English. Do make sure you make the most of the screens available in many rooms, where you can find out more about specific works in a very didactic, visual fashion, and see details you would probably never had noticed otherwise! Special mention for the recording of the tiny piece of music at the bottom of one of the paintings! What a great idea! Make sure you have at least 90 min to visit the gallery - we stayed about 150 min! Suggestion to the gallery: since most of the saints appear again and again, perhaps a short presentation of the most frequently occurring ones (for instance at the start of the journey through the Gallery), alongside perhaps one of their representations, and possibly a mention of their symbol(s), would help them "come to life" even more. Highly recommended visit!

Interesting art, lots of places to sit throughout, at the time of visiting no working toilets throughout the building

I spent about 1 hour and a half on a Sunday morning and I did enjoy the visit (entry is free in the first Sunday of the month, except for a 2 eur fee for online reservation). It is a bit small thou for a "national gallery" as its name claim...

This is a must see for anyone visiting Perugia who loves art and history. An amazing collection of mainly religious art from the region of Umbria from the 13th century. Superb works of art mainly painted on wood with the most vivid colours. The gallery is well laid out and video images of some of the works add to the experience. There are explanations of each piece of art in English and Italian. Also the gallery appears well suited for people in wheelchairs with suitable lifts and very flat floors.
