The first in Italy and one of the few in the world dedicated exclusively to jewelery.
The Jewelery Museum, a permanent museum space of 410 square meters located inside the Basilica Palladiana, is a project by Italian Exhibition Group Spa created in partnership with the Municipality of Vicenza.
The Museum offers an original aesthetic and cognitive experience on jewelery, enhancing an ancient object deeply rooted in human culture.
Curated and directed by Alba Cappellieri, Professor of Jewelery Design at the Milan Polytechnic and leading jeweler in Italy, and designed in the setting by Designer Patricia Urquiola, it develops in a scientific and didactic path articulated on two levels.
The curatorial choice of strong impact aims to restore the semantic complexity of the jewel with very heterogeneous points of view.
Inside the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza there is a unique place in Italy: the Jewelery Museum, a permanent museum space of 410 square meters, the first in our beautiful country and one of the few in the world dedicated exclusively to jewelery.
Open to the public since December 2014, it was created with the aim of promoting jewelery in its various contexts and plays an international role as a narrative and aesthetic center of gravity on jewelery.
It offers an original experience on an ancient object deeply rooted in human culture. The project presents visitors with a new vision of a “museum space”, usable and multifunctional, which envisages the coexistence of different design moments.
On the ground floor there is the bookshop, a cultural reference point that collects national and international texts on the jewel, while the adjacent room hosts temporary exhibitions.
