Palazzo delle Albere
• from 17th December 2023 to 30th June 2025, on Saturday and Sunday 10am-7pm, from Tuesday to Friday 10am-6pm
This splendid Renaissance palazzo, now home to exhibitions and events organised by the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Science Museum, is the protagonist of an ancient legend.
The fortified Renaissance palace was built in 1550 at the behest of the noble Madruzzo family, who ruled the Principality of Trento for a century. Its name derives from the row of poplars that leads from the palace to the three gates that lead to the historic city centre. According to legend, this villa-fortress, once the summer residence of prince-bishops, had an underground tunnel that connected it to the cathedral. Today, the palazzo is home to temporary exhibitions organised by Mart (the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art) and MUSE (Science Museum). Damaged by a fire in 1796, the building preserves fragments of pictorial cycles dedicated to the Ages of Man, the Seven Liberal Arts, the Months and the cardinal and theological Virtues.
