PNB

Close to the university of Bologna you can discover the national art gallery or Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna (PNB). The museum is presenting regional art from the 13th to the 18th century in a former Jesuit building – a nice place to exhibit religious art. The collection is owned by the city of Bologna and you can explore 30 rooms with works from local painters as well as from famous names like Tintoretto, Raphael, El Greco or Giotto.

Important works to watch out for includes The Last Supper by El Greco (1568), The Visitation by Tintoretto (1549), The Ecstasy of St. Cecilia by Raphael (1518) and Saint George and the Dragon by Vitale da Bologna (13th century). After visiting the PNB you should head to the Palazzo Poggi closeby and its great historic science collection – it is just around the corner.
