Museums Bergamo. This stunning city boasts several interesting attractions, including major monuments and museums.

If you love paintings, consider visiting the museums in Bergamo displaying the collections of the GAMeC, which promotes emerging artists. By visiting Piazza della Cittadella explore the Natural Sciences and Archaeology Museums. The former is distinctly educational while the latter takes visitors to the time when ancient peoples inhabited this land.

The province offers a few unique museums in Lombardy's artistic landscape, like the MAT in Clusone with rare clock models, the one in the Gandino Basilica and the Dalmine Nativity, plus the Harlequin House in San Giovanni Bianco and the Schilpario Mining Park.
