Museo Tattile Statale Omero

About

A unique barrier-free museum, whose aim is to export its experience and philosophy by promoting a multi-sensory enjoyment of art. Housed in the Eighteenth-century rooms of the Mole Vanvitelliana, Ancona, the Museo Omero can be seen as a three-dimensional encyclopaedia of art history. The collection covers all the main periods of sculpture and plastic arts: it has casts taken from original Classical Greek masterpieces, sculptures by Michelangelo as well architectonic scales of Partenone and Basilica di San Pietro. Several are the original works by contemporary sculptors such as De Chirico, Marini, Martini, Messina, Pistoletto and many others. On 2021, we inaugurated our Collezione Design gallery: a new space specially created to be a multi-sensory environment, just like the Museo Omero, where you can get to know thirty-two iconic examples of Italian design. Admission to the Museo Omero is free, except for the Design Collection, which has a separate entrance and tickets cost € 5.
