  • This museum is so far the most beautiful place in Udine. The rich history of Friuli region is presented in the museum and it is worth visiting for sure. The location of the museum - close to the park, the old part of the city and a bus stop. Easy to reach and definitely a must for everyone who would like to find out more about the region.
  • Not the classic Italian museum but a relatively small exposition. The highlight has been the biblioteca Delfino, really impressive both for the charming architecture and the books hosted there. The Tiepolo frescos are marvellous, despite not being particularly passionate of XVIII century paintings myself. The museum is a little jewel close to the charming Udine city center.
