MUSEUMS IN CREMONA RE-OPEN!

From Wednesday May 27 the Pinacoteca, the Natural History Museum and the Archaeological Museum will reopen their doors, with a new summer timetable aimed at enticing citizens to discover (or rediscover) the collections.

The offices will be open on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00 (therefore extending the afternoon opening by one hour) and on Friday in the afternoon and evening, from 16:00 to 22:00.

At the Natural History Museum, in addition to the permanent collections, it will be possible to visit the exhibition “A PO of nature!”, dedicated to the nature of the Cremona area.

At the Archaeological Museum, the reopening will coincide with the preparation of the new bookshop service and with the publication on the website of in-depth information sheets on various issues relating to the museum itinerary, accessible through a QR code.

The Museum of Rural Life will instead be closed, but it will be possible to book the visit on different days and times, according to availability that will be communicated at the time of booking.
