Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo is Brescia's main civic art gallery, with collections that place the city's painting tradition in a wider Lombard and Italian context. It is a natural indoor companion to Santa Giulia, the Capitolium, and the old centre's churches and piazzas.
The gallery is best for visitors who want to slow down and see Brescia as more than a Roman and medieval city. Allow time for the permanent collection rather than treating it as a quick filler between monuments.
