Since March 30, 1996, the Civic Museum of Bevagna has been housed in the second floor of Palazzo Lepri on Corso Matteotti, the ancient via Flaminia..
The building was designed by the architect Andrea Vici in the XVII Century.
Its collection is divided in three sections: archaeological finds, documents and historical-artistic heritage.
The first section consists in pre-Roman finds and exhibits from the Republican and Imperial periods. It includes remains of decorations and funeral urns, ancient Roman coins and other items found in Bevagna that show the millenary history of the city.
The second section features Medieval parchments, while the third includes paintings made between the XVI and XVIII Century by artists such as Corrado Giaquinto, Dono Doni, his follower Ascensidonio Spacca called Il Fantino, Andrea Camassei, the German Joseph Esperlin and other artists who worked in the area.
The most notable works are “the Adoration of the Magi” by the Neapolitan painter Corrado Giaquinto (1703 – 1765), who was one of the main exponents of Italian painting in XVII Century Europe and “Madonna with Child”, by the famous Assisian artist Dono Doni.
The collection also includes the wooden model of the Church of Madonna delle Grazie, created by its architect Valentino Martelli for the developers.
