Museums, Archives and Historical Libraries

If you love places that tell stories, Reggio Emilia is sure to surprise you.
Quiet, evocative places where the past converses with the present, recounting centuries of art, memory, knowledge and everyday life through unique collections, artefacts and heritage.

Here, culture is not just to be seen, but to be experienced: you can lose yourself among ancient and modern collections, step inside places that for decades have been home to ‘madness’, or immerse yourself in the world of masks and puppets, discovering hidden details and timeless atmospheres.
In this way, you will discover the authentic Reggio Emilia, a city steeped in history, science, creativity and traditions.
