It's really a fine city/regional museum, and we probably didn't do justice to its many other 15th and 16th century holdings. In addition to the paintings, there are numerous objects and collections of everyday life, household, weapons, viticulture, and so on, from neolithic times through the Romans and up through the early 20th century. We sorted of flitted around, too, trying to avoid the larger tour bus groups.
