Historic houses in Udine

Originally, the museum was housed in the basement of the city's archbishop's seminary. However, even before the earthquake in 1976, the process of moving the museum to the Patriarchal Palace had begun. This palace was the former residence of the patriarchs of Aquileia and, from 1751, of the archbishops of Udine. The building is considered one of the main monuments in the city of Udine.

Established in 1865 and opened to the public a year later at the Bartolini Palace, the Civic Museums and Galleries of History and Art of Udine have a long-standing history. This history is reflected in the vast collection of artifacts and artworks that they house.

The Ethnographic Museum of Friuli, situated in the city of Udine, is housed in the Palazzo Giacomelli. After being closed for over two decades, the museum reopened its doors in October 2010. The museum's location in the historic Palazzo Giacomelli adds an extra layer of cultural significance to the visitor's experience.
