Relics from the history of Vicenza's resistance to foreign and domestic invaders. Artillery outside and arms and uniforms inside. It wasn't crowded on a Sunday morning and we spent about an hour.

My wife and I toured this museum. We were happy with the free admission and the experience was good. There was one person working there and pointed us in the direction of the exibits that included 3 levels.

We visited the museum as an extension of our walk from the centre of Vicenza to the Santuario della Madonna di Monte Berico. The walk took about 10 minutes or so from the church. Unfortunately, we arrived at the entrance just over 15 minutes before the museum closed for lunch (why do the Italians close so many places of interest for 2 or 3 hours at lunchtime!?). But we didn’t mind too much because our admission was included with the Vicenza Museum card and so was effectively free. This was just as well, because no concessions were made for those who couldn’t speak (or at least read) Italian. All the explanatory notices were in Italian, which makes a visit to the museum pretty much a waste of time for many overseas tourists. This is a bit sad, because several of the exhibits looked potentially interesting … but only for those who could read the descriptions! If the museum wants to attract more overseas visitor, then descriptions accompanying the displays need to be not just in Italian. It is for this reason, and this reason only, that we’ve given the attraction the score that we have.…
