There are nine themed rooms, entirely dedicated to the creative, artistic, productive and technological excellence of the Jewel Made in Italy. From the 25th September, the Jewellery Museum of Vicenza reopens to the visitors after a closure compelled by the strict anti Covid-19 measures that were applied during the pandemic.

The prestigious space managed by Italian Exhibition Group, together with the Municipality of Vicenza, stabilises its role as a cultural landmark for the whole goldsmith sector and for the territory, enriching the already thriving artistic offer of Vicenza. Since 2019, the Jewellery Museum became part of the local museum system of the city centre and got included inside the Vicenza Card. A synergy meant to bolster the operating management of the ticket office and the bookshop thanks to the cooperation agreement with the Vicenza è Tourist Board, which already manages the Tourist information office.

*from Tuesday to Friday: 10:00 – 13:00 e 15:00 – 18:00
