The Tridentine Council room, with the original wooden choir from the cathedral, is a space of rare atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Museo Civico di Trento<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located in Palazzo del Monte di Piet\u00e0, it preserves collections of local history, archaeology and modern art. The 19th and 20th-century Trentino art sections are little known outside the region but of real quality. Admission is free or discounted for some categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Piazzetta Leoni, it hosts temporary contemporary art exhibitions with a focus on environmental themes and Alpine artistic production. The exhibition programme is updated each season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Museo dell&#8217;Aeronautica Gianni Caproni<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just outside the historic centre on Via Luigi Sella, this is a must for aviation enthusiasts: one of Italy&#8217;s most important collections of historic aircraft, spanning from the earliest days of flight to the Second World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our recommendation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If time is short, the Diocesan Museum should come first: it is on Piazza del Duomo, takes about an hour and provides invaluable context for understanding the city&#8217;s history. Most of Trento&#8217;s historic-centre museums close on Mondays. Check updated opening times on their websites before visiting, especially during public holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Museo Diocesano Tridentino to the Civic Museum, the Galleria d&#8217;Arte Contemporanea and the Caproni Aviation Museum: Trento&#8217;s smaller museums are an ideal alternative on a rainy day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1208,"template":"","categoria":[21],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.accademiahotel.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/scopri_trento\/1280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.accademiahotel.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/scopri_trento"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.accademiahotel.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/scopri_trento"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.accademiahotel.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.accademiahotel.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.accademiahotel.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria?post=1280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
