    Musei Civici

    To the north of Chiesa di San Prospero, the Musei Civici include Palazzo San Francesco, with its eclectic collection of mainly 18th-century art and archaeological discoveries, and the Galleria Parmeggiani, which boasts some worthwhile Italian, Flemish and Spanish paintings, as well as a heteroge­neous collection of costumes, arms, jewellery and cutlery.

  2. Tricolour Flag Museum

    The flag is the city's national claim to fame, and Reggio Emilia's city centre makes a lot of it. With interactive and traditional museum displays, the museum gives important and interesting background to the Napoleonic period. The nearby Sala del Tricolore - the room the flag was birthed in - takes prominent place in the beautiful, 14th-century town hall.
