Museum of Ligustica Accademy of Fine Arts
In the city centre, overlooking Piazza De Ferrari, the historic building of the Ligustica Academy of fine arts, founded in 1751, also houses its museum: a collection of paintings and sculptures, coming from purchases or donations over the course of the institution's two-centuries of history.
The Accademia’s art collection comprises paintings, drawings, prints, engraving plates, plaster casts, bronze and marble sculptures, stone architectural elements, plaster and terracotta bozzetti, ceramics, a photography and photographic plate collection, art volumes and medals.
