Easter at Brescia Museums: openings, workshops and family activities

For the Easter holidays, Brescia’s museums present a varied program aimed at all ages: extended openings, guided tours, creative workshops and outdoor events for families.

• Extended openings across museum venues for Easter weekend, including the Museo di Santa Giulia and the Brixia archaeological park.
• Key exhibitions: site-specific installations and photographic projects on display in several city venues.
• Family activities: egg hunts in museum parks, tactile routes and hands-on creative workshops.
• Intercultural events: programs that bring together different Easter traditions through guided tours and workshops.
• Facilities and openings: the Belvedere 030 food point at the Castle reopens, offering weekend food options.

Participating sites include Museo di Santa Giulia, Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo, the Brixia archaeological park, the Museum of the Risorgimento Leonessa d’Italia and the Luigi Marzoli Weapons Museum. The program balances activities for young children (sensory paths, spring camps) with in-depth sessions for adults focused on photography and visual arts.

A notable element is the focus on intercultural dialogue: events that compare Catholic and Orthodox Easter customs, supported by cultural mediators who guide visitors through rites, music and related workshops. Exhibitions on traditional egg-decorating techniques are paired with creative labs for children.

Check the official museum websites for up-to-date opening hours, ticketing details and reservation procedures, particularly for workshops and guided tours with limited places.
