Ravenna hosts also many museums, starting from the MAR Ravenna Art Museum, that hosts several permanent collections, as well as temporary high-profile exhibitions. Moreover in the city centre are the National Museum with many artefacts of Roman, Byzantine – and not only – periods; the Tamo Museum, which offers a real tour inside the world of mosaic; the Archiepiscopal Museum with its collections, including the well-known pulpit of Massimiano, and the Chapel of Sant’Andrea; the Dante Museum, the Risorgimento Museum and the historic Museums of Marionette and of Dolls.
For all archaeological enthusiasts, you certainly cannot miss a visit to the new Classis Ravenna, inside the Archaeological Park of Classe, currently one of the most important archaeological museums in Italy, as well as a real travel backwards through the history of Ravenna.
The street museum is at your disposal, open-door and free: Ravenna collects significant street art works distributed along its streets, among them the famous Invader by the namesake French artist.
