Restored and reinstalled by Carlo Scarpa between 1958 and 1975, Castelvecchio constitutes one of the principal examples of the Venetian architect’s work in the museum sphere, along with the Gallerie dell’Accademia, the Museo Correr and the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, the Gipsoteca Canoviana in Possagno, and Palazzo Abatellis in Palermo.

The Museo di Castelvecchio is at the head of the network of civic monuments and museums in Verona instituted in the first half of the nineteenth century. Important collections are on view, primarily sculpture and painting from the twelfth to the eighteenth century.

With about 90,000 visitors each year, the Museum undertakes a rich program of conservation, restoration, and research, as well as didactic and valorisation programs. In addition it produces publications, exhibitions, and specialized meetings.
It has a library, an archive, and a specialized photo archive accessible to the public.
