Works from the Pinacoteca of Bari

An experience of medieval and modern art at the waterfront museum: the Pinacoteca di Bari

The "Corrado Giaquinto" Art Gallery in Bari boasts a prestigious collection of works, including paintings , sculptures , and historical objects of southern Italian influence. The artists behind these collections are predominantly southern Italian artists, including De Nittis, Altamura, Netti, Piccinni, Armenise, and Pino Pascali (to name just a few, but there are so many more)  and, above all, Corrado Giaquinto , the Apulian artist after whom this unmissable art museum, a true gem of Bari and the South, takes its name.

The “Corrado Giaquinto” art gallery is located in a strategic position on the Bari seafront , which is why it is quite likely that you will choose to stop, perhaps during a walk along the city's coast, to visit this museum full of important paintings from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, as well as interesting works of contemporary art .

Your wonderful experience would consist of a very fascinating "artistic" journey that includes the visit of 22 rooms full of works of art from Puglia (or at least closely related to Puglia ) accompanied by the highly evocative interiors of the structure, we are talking about the building that houses these precious collections (without a doubt one of the most beautiful and characteristic buildings in the Apulian capital ), often appreciated by tourists from all over the world to the point of mentioning it in various reviews left on the web, thus making it an active part of the overall experience within the museum.

As for the collections of the Pinacoteca di Bari , we can include not only Apulian paintings and sculptures , but also black and white drawings, watercolors, objects and even fragments of sculptures recovered from the numerous Romanesque buildings scattered throughout the region and which have always characterized the architectural style of splendid Puglia . In short, if you are wondering whether it is worth visiting this place during your trip to Bari, the answer is an absolute YES.
The museum is located on the fourth floor of the splendid Palazzo della Provincia di Bari (don't worry, there is also an elevator for the elderly) and if you are curious, there is a very kind staff at your disposal, ready to welcome you and answer your questions.
