The Bolzano Civic Gallery (Stadtgalerie Bozen), housed in a former Dominican monastery on the square of the same name in the Old Town of Bolzano, complements South Tyrol's rich array of museums. It is run by the Office for Museums and Museum Research.
Across two floors, you'll encounter treasured works, including a wooden statue and an altarpiece wing by Michael Pacher from the 15th century, as well as the Carolingian choir screen from the Church of St. Benedict in Malles in the Venosta Valley, an impressive testament to the 9th century.
The permanent exhibition is supplemented by rotating temporary exhibitions featuring photography and art. Around nine exhibitions take place annually, exploring diverse themes such as, for example, "Semplicemente Donne" (Simply Women), "Making Visible: A Dialogue between Art and Church", or "Goodbye Glaciers". How to get to the Bolzano Civic Gallery?
The art gallery on the Dominican Square (Piazza Domenicani) is easily accessible on foot or by public transport. The bus stop is located directly at the entrance.
