Some of the finest pieces of European art ever made in an elegant palazzo - would be five stars but the experience was ruined by the indescribable rudeness and aggression of the staff, which is mentioned again and again in these reviews. I had a man shine a torch in my eyes while screaming in my face because I didn't know the lift had broken down. For context, I am an elderly woman on my own of about 1.5m. What a contrast with any privately run gallery here. Pity the council hire staff who lack the social skills to work as market traders for this beautiful gallery.

Must go classic art museum exhibition design by Carlo Scarpa. Mainly Byzantine art from 13th and 14th artwork.

I really liked this museum. It is not big , but is is situated in very nice building ( properly palazzo Abatellis) and has a nice collection of religious paintings, wood carvings and marble statues and bareliefs . Also the restorators are working directly in the museum halls. We had a chance to see the process of art restoration

This was one of the many palazzi in Palermo. One that is a little unknown maybe? So many works. So little people. Great information in every room on the artwork. Many at least 500-600 years old. Take a look at the photos. Mine and others. You get a great sense of the building. And the art. So well preserved and presented too. A must

A museum with lots of works of art. Inside it is a beautiful painting which is “bigger” than the museum itself! Go and find it! Enjoy!
