Strada Nuova Museums


The Strada Nuova Museums together form a single museum complex housed in the Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Tursi, three of the in Genoa, all located along the Via Garibaldi. The Palazzo Tursi also houses the city hall.
It was founded in 2004 with the decision to create a single visitor route linking all three palaces, all with a single owner. Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco had already been independent museums since 1874 and 1892 respectively, whilst parts of Palazzo Tursi had been given over to cultural uses since 2004. The route begins with 15th-20th century paintings in Palazzo Rosso, followed by art produced in Genoa and Liguria by Spanish, Flemish and Italian artists from the 15th century onwards in Palazzo Bianco and concluding in Palazzo Tursi with Canova's Penitent Magdalene and the ceramic, numismatic and Paganini collections.
