The Palazzo Pretorio Museum offers a “slow” way of enjoying culture, in contrast to the frenetic and sometimes superficial model of mass tourism.
Here, in complete calm and tranquility, the public can enjoy a conscious and immersive visit experience, slowing down and connecting with art and culture in a profound and meaningful way.
This approach to the “slow museum” is an invitation to experience culture slowly and attentively, with the pleasure of discovery and knowledge, through special events such as thematic guided tours or various tools available to the visitor.
Some tools for your visit

Walk in sound
A multisensory participatory experience that brings together words, sounds and images, created by the actor and performer Francesco Dendi, which allows visitors to experience art from a new perspective. Ask at the reception desk - at no additional cost to the entrance ticket - for the maps with the museum route accompanied by a legend relating to the listening stations and the reference audio track for each stop; the maps contain a QR code that, once scanned, will allow you to choose whether to play the tracks on the site's player or download them directly to your phone.
Prato, a museum every day
On any day of the week the visitor will always find a museum open and willing to welcome him!
