THE MUSEO CIVICO LUIGI BAILO (The L. Bailo's Museum), Borgo Cavour, 24 - Treviso
 
The Museo Civico Luigi Bailo (L. Bailo’s Museum) was founded by homonymous abbot in 1879 and it is the main current seat of the museums of Treviso, together with the complex of Santa Caterina (with the Museum, the cloisters and the Church) and the Ca’ da Noal Museum.

The museum is located near the present town library where there was the friars Gesuati’s monastery in 16th century and then in 17th century the friars Carmelitani Scalzi’s monastery.

The year of its inauguration was the same in which the near church was demolished and the friars Carmelitani’s monastery was dismantled. The indoor spaces of the Museum may be divided according to displayed works in: Sezione Archeologica (Archaeological Part), Pinacoteca (Picture Gallery), Galleria Comunale d’Arte Moderna (Modern Art Gallery).

 

The Sezione Archeologica (Archaeological Part) occupies nearly whole ground floor and the sixteenth-century cloister where we may see several finds which were built in the Copper Age, in the Bronze Age, in the Iron Age and in Paleoveneto.
In the rooms there are many tools as bronze swords, hatchets, buckles, earthenware which were found both inside the Walls of Treviso and along the river Sile.

Some ceramic and earthenware artefacts make an exception: they were made in Magna Graecia (South Italy) and they were presented Luigi Bailo when he was the director of the Museum.

The rich Pinacoteca (Picture Gallery) develops into several rooms, the most part of these is located on upper floor and they surround the two cloisters.
In the Pinacoteca you may see some wonderful works coming both from some legacies and from the Chiesa di San Teonisto (Church of St. Teonisto) where they were kept.

The Pinacoteca of Museo Civico Bailo (The Bailo’s Museum) evidences the development of painting in Veneto between the 15th century and the 17th century by a significant amount of canvases made by artists not only from Treviso, but also of other towns from Veneto.
 
The "Crocefisso" painted on a panel by Giovanni da Bologna is one of the most interesting works, then there are some portrayals of the Virgin with her Child made by artists as Giovanni Bellini, Jacopo da Valenza and Cima da Conegliano, several views of Treviso by Medoro Coghetto, which are the fullest of charm among these works as Piazza dei Signori (the main square) and the Duomo (the Cathedral) and then we may see the "Monaco cassiere" by Lorenzo Lotto and many other canvases by Paris Bordone, by Tintoretto, by Tiepolo, by Francesco Guardi, by Tiziano Vecellio and many others.
