How to reach us

By car

The Museum is located in a restricted traffic area, so it is recommended to leave your car in the paid parking lots in the vicinity of the historic center.
The nearest underground car park is in Piazza Trento and Trieste (about 300m from the Museum).

By private bus

The Museum is located in a restricted traffic area.
Tourist buses can go to largo XXV Aprile, to the area dedicated to loading and unloading for tourist buses, which is about 300 mt. from the Museum.

Please note: In Piazza Trento e Trieste there is a market on Thursdays, so reaching Largo XXV Aprile can be difficult.

The bus must then move to the parking “Parco di Monza” or to the parking area in Piazza Citterio while waiting to come back to pick up the tourists at the end of their visit.

By train

The railway station of Monza is in via Arosio, about 1 km from the museum.

Walk along Corso Milano and then the pedestrian area of Via Italia until you intersect on the right Piazza Duomo.

A little gem to discover

The Cathedral of Monza, together with the chapel of Teodolinda and the Museum, is a small gem to discover (and rediscover) in the heart of Lombardy. Exhibition rich in late-antique and Lombard artifacts (if you studied art history, half of the illustrations of your book will see them live here), the small museum of the Cathedral is worth a visit, given the overall negligible cost to access it.
Different speech for the Chapel of Theodolinda, which requires mandatory reservation. If you want to do it directly on the spot, we recommend that you aim for the less frequented times, so as to find free places. In any case, it is a destination that I strongly recommend and that deserves, alone, the visit of Monza. It is a 360 degrees immersion in the great art of the fifteenth century and in the history of the duchy of Milan, of which Monza was one of the protagonists.

Absolutely recommended

I visited this museum during a weekend in early January. The museum is not very large, but it shows with skill various paintings and ancient artifacts of mainly religious theme. Absolutely recommended for lovers of the late Roman and early medieval period.

Truly unique treasures

The museum is well stocked with well-preserved medieval finds. Truly unique treasures. To see the crown, wonderful iron, you must book the visit with a guide as it is located inside the cathedral in the chapel of Theodolinda that I recommend visiting.

Chapel of Theodolinda: wonderful

Chapel of Theodolinda: wonderful. Excellent guide and its directions. The museum is very well set up and preserves treasures worthy of note. With the purchase of the ticket you will receive “your passport” with all the artistic sites of the city of Monza.

Fourteen centuries of history art among unique masterpieces

Quando si visita il duomo di Monza bisognerebbe visitarne anche il museo e la cappella di Teodolinda.
Quattordici secoli d’arte di storia tra capolavori unici al mondo, dall’eredità Longobarda all’arte contemporanea, mentre nella cappella Teodolinda ci sono 45 splendide scene dipinte dagli zavattari e la Corona ferrea custodita dentro la cappella. La guida alla cappella viene fatta ogni mezz’ora ed è quasi obbligatoria la prenotazione.
