The Castelbuono Civic Museum is entrusted with the conservation and promotion of the area\u2019s historical and artistic heritage; today, it serves as a centre for experimentation and the promotion of contemporary art forms, and stands at the heart of the history, civic life, culture and religious worship of Sant\u2019Anna.<\/b><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The Civic Museum of Castelbuono is housed in the evocative Castello dei Ventimiglia<\/span><\/span> (1317), a medieval manor located 90 km from Palermo<\/span><\/span>: an extraordinary architectural monument nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of the Madonie Natural Park<\/span><\/span>, a UNESCO Geopark site.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The museum preserves rich permanent collections displayed across the sections of Archaeology, Urban Planning, Sacred Art, and Modern and Contemporary Art: a continuously expanding body of works shaped by an experimental spirit and supported by an extensive programme of temporary exhibitions, as well as cultural and educational activities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Palatine Chapel of the \u201cdei Serpotta\u201d (1684) is entirely decorated with stucco on a background of pure gold leaf, created by the brothers Giuseppe Serpotta<\/span><\/span> and Giacomo Serpotta<\/span><\/span>. Its extraordinary decorative scheme is regarded as one of the finest examples of Sicilian Baroque, and it houses the sacred relic of Saint Anne.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Museum promotes a wide-ranging cultural programme of temporary exhibitions, community-based projects, educational and environmental workshops, and collaborations with Italian and foreign cultural institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Civic Museum of Castelbuono is a municipal institution of the Municipality of Castelbuono (PA), established by resolution of the Municipal Council, with its statutes approved by Municipal Council Resolution No. 11 of 7 March 2002.<\/span><\/p>\n
