The Van Gogh exhibition was a medium experience but the museum itself is one of the most organised and well maintained we've seen in a long time. It's a small museum, but thus very pleasant, not overwhelming and non-tiring. And the staff is so kind and warm. Thank you for the wonderful experience. The Van Gogh, unfortunately not what was expected. The exhibition is small, the rooms are small and if a lot of people come, very crowdy and the air gets bad very quickly. If you want to see it in peace and enjoy it, come during the week, not on weekends. And if you are a demanding art lover, better ask what is displayed, otherwise you might be disappointed. No Starry Night here, just so you know.... And buy tickets well in advance as there are more advantages of buying in advance: you will be sure that you will be able to even enter; during the reservation procedure you will be able to see how busy it is that day and hour, so you can then choose a different day and time to go; without tickets in advance you risk waiting in a very long line outside of the building under the rain etc and still not being sure you will even be able to get a ticket after all the wait (the line can be an hour or more long of standing and waiting). So just buy online and have a peace of mind. Oh, and be sure to come in Trieste half an hour earlier to your booking because there might be surprises with parking spaces for the car. Sometimes the seaside parkings are all closed because of some events and then you get stuck in traffic searching for a parking. Suggestion if that happens: write in Google Maps "parking garage covered" so it will help you find a closed parking garage, which are scattered across the city centre. But you really need an updated (best Google) navigation because Trieste is a maze of small one-way roads and you can get lost easily...

A fantastic experience beyond a classic art gallery!! Amazing collection of late 19th century and more contemporary paintings and sculptures. Interesting layout (start at the top and slowly descend into history). Highlights include a classic Pomodoro sculpture and Italian impressionists. History of the museum and its unique collection practices is also told through the art pieces on display. Enriching experience that goes beyond looking at the pictures. But the real highlight is the structure itself masterfully design by Scarpa to perfectly integrate art and the surrounding landscape. Nooks and glass walls offer glimpses of the beautiful Trieste bay, lines and corners integrate with the art for a real full five-sense immersion. Not to mention the rooftop terrace!! Make sure to visit the outdoor space on the 5th floor. It offers a breathtaking view of the full bay and the mountains! Friendly staff is a huge plus!! Thank you. A must visit if you're in Trieste!

A most excellent non-religious modern and contempory art museum. Much of the buidling is the restored home of Sr. Revoltella of Suez Canal fame. Grandiose staircases with stunning marble sculptures, elaborate wood work, ceiling paintings, inlay flooring, etc. Has mutli-level roof view deck to look out over the sea, open when the weather is good. Good audio guide, either handheld or via the museums own smart phone app - requires a paid voucher code. Van Gogh exhibition was excellent. Located in a part of town with an abundance of indoor/outdoor coffee shops and restaurants

Modern art gallery founded in Trieste in 1872. Baron Pasquale Revoltella left his wonderful 19th century Renaissance revival palace with all furniture and books to the City. Nowadays the Museum comprises 3 buildings for a total of 4000 sq. m exhibiting 19th-20th masterpieces like paintings by Giuseppe Tominz, Antonio Rotta, Lucio Fontana and sculptures by Pietro Magni and Arnaldo Pomodoro. 7€ full/5€ reduced tickets. Rooftop bar with nice panorama views over the whole Trieste gulf. Note: 1st Sunday each Month free entrance in every Italian Museum.

Il mio giudizio di 3/5 deriva dalla media della somma di un 5 dato ai contenuti dello straordinario Museo Revoltella (dal nome del fondatore, Pasquale Revoltella, 1795 - 1869) - Galleria d'arte moderna e di un 1 dato alla difficoltà oggettiva di girarlo, di orientarmici, di trovare informazioni più numerose di quelle in italiano ed inglese sparse qua e là, di seguire un percorso, un'indicazione, una possibile ed auspicabile piantina, inesistente. Entrare in questo museo ha prodotto in me una continua sensazione di disorientamento che mi ha distratta dal piacere di godermi le opere esposte. Non ero sola: altre persone chiedevano a me dove fosse l'uscita, per esempio. E questo perchè all'interno ho visto solo due custodi. Ma lo spazio è immenso e pieno di tutto: si tratta di tre palazzi che formano un intero isolato, di 4000 mq di esposizione, di 350 opere di pittura e scultura su sei piani. In altri musei tanto ricchi e vasti vengono consegnati al visitatore dei pieghevoli coi percorsi chiari e con le opere assolutamente da non perdere in evidenza; qui, invece, sono andata vagando in lungo e in largo, spesso trovandomi davanti a un muro e non sapendo come fare a tornare sui miei passi o a chiedere indicazioni a qualche custode che non c'era.

Museo di straordinaria bellezza. Sei piani di storia: arte moderna, arte contemporanea, pitture, sculture, cattureranno la tua attenzione… Il Palazzo era la dimora storica del barone Pasquale Revoltella persona molto lungimirante (partecipò addirittura in maniera attiva alla costruzione del Canale di Suez) qui ne fece sua abitazione e luogo di grande vita mondana con possibilità economiche molto considerevoli. I tre piani e gli appartamenti appartenuti al barone sono di rara bellezza in un contesto ottocentesco molto ben conservato e curato. Il resto del museo, grazie ad un sapiente restauro dell’architetto Carlo Scarpa che ha permesso la giunzione con Palazzo Brunner, offre la possibilità di visitare una Galleria d’Arte Moderna di grande rilevanza Internazionale. Qui, oltre 350 opere tra pitture e sculture di artisti Italiani e Internazionali trovano spazio in un contesto più moderno e vivace (*Incantato davanti al quadro “Dopo la prima Comunione"). Molto bella, la sezione dedicata agli artisti triestini e artisti regionali. Infine merita una nota positiva anche la terrazza panoramica vista oltremare che troverai al sesto piano. Ho trovato molto utile l’applicazione Revoltella App. *Visitato 15-08-22
