Verification of authenticity

The path on the recognition of authenticity in art and antiques is the flagship of the Museum, one of a kind and the only example in the world of a museum dedicated to the important issue of ascertaining authenticity in art.

Each section deals with a fundamental theme from painting on canvas and wood to excavated ceramics, from antique furniture to amber and ivory. The itinerary culminates in the tapestry room where it is possible to admire carpets and tapestries of different workmanship and origins.

All sections are equipped with test stations, stations with microscopes and magnifying glasses to teach how to recognize the characteristics of authenticity.
