National Gallery of Umbria, Perugia PDF Print
Musei Italia - Musei da visitare

Georges Jansoone The National Gallery of Umbria is an Italian museum. It preserves the largest collection of works of art of Umbria and some of the most significant works of art in central Italy from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century.

Its origins are intersected with the birth of the Academy of design, that around the second half of the sixteenth century was located in the Convent of the Olivetans to Montemorcino, which were collected in the first part of drawings and paintings.
Due to the suppression of religious orders imposed by the Emperor Napoleon at first and then the Kingdom of Italy in the late eighteenth century and the mid-nineteenth, the material collected increased significantly since the most valuable works of art became the property of the State, thus going to integrate (when they were scattered among museums around the world) the collection of the Academy.

In 1863 he was created a civic art gallery dedicated to Pietro Vannucci, but the problem then was to find a suitable forum for all the collected material.
In 1878 the gallery left the old headquarters of the Academy and was transferred to the third floor of the Palazzo dei Priori.
Expanded by purchases and donations, in 1918 changed its name to Galleria Vannucci Regia. Over the years, new exhibition spaces have been created, granted in use by the City and the museum exhibition today is organized in chronological order and organized for schools.
