==== City Museum ====
The City Museum ({{Lang|it|Museo della Città}}), is Rimini's main and oldest museum. It was inaugurated in 1872 as the Archaeology Gallery, at the ground floor of Palazzo Gambalunga, thanks to Riminese historian Luigi Tonini, who researched and studied the city's archaeological heritage.<ref>Anna Graziosi Ripa, ''Per la storia del Museo Archeologico riminese'', in: ''Analisi di Rimini Antica'', Rimini, Comune di Rimini, 1980, p. 317.</ref> The Archaeology Gallery was conceived as a collection of [[Etruscan civilization]] and [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] antiquities, found in Rimini and in the surrounding countryside. In 1923, it moved to the monastery of San Francesco, and was expanded with a section of medieval art in 1938. Its collections avoided the destruction of the Second World War after they were moved to shelters in Spadarolo and [[Novafeltria]].<ref>Anna Graziosi Ripa, ''Per la storia del Museo Archeologico riminese'', in: ''Analisi di Rimini Antica'', Rimini, Comune di Rimini, 1980, p. 158.</ref> In 1964, the collections moved to Palazzo Visconti and finally, from 1990, to the {{Lang|it|Collegio dei Gesuiti}}, a large [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] convent designed by Bolognese architect [[Alfonso Torreggiani]], built in 1749.

In the Archaeological department are exhibited grave goods from [[Villanovian civilization|Villanovian]] tombs of [[Verucchio]] and Covignano, architectural pieces, sculptures, mosaics, ceramics, coins of [[Roman Republic|Republican]] and [[Roman Empire|Imperial]] eras, and the exceptional medical kit from the Domus del Chirurgo. The collection of the Roman Lapidary, exhibited in the inner courtyard of the convent, has funerary monuments, epigraphies and [[milestone]]s.[[File:Scuola riminese, giudizio universale, da san giovanni evangelista (oggi sant'agostino) a rimini, 1310 ca. 01.JPG|thumb|left| City Museum, Last Judgement Room]][[File:Museo della città di Rimini, cortile 02.jpg|thumb|The Roman Lapidary, exhibited in the inner courtyard of the City Museum]]The Medieval and Modern Art departments include collections of [[painting]]s, [[sculpture]]s and [[Work of art|art objects]] by artists from [[Romagna]] ([[Giovanni da Rimini]], [[Giuliano da Rimini]], [[Guido Cagnacci]]), [[Emilia (region of Italy)|Emilia]] ([[Guercino]], [[Vittorio Maria Bigari]]), [[Tuscany]] ([[Domenico Ghirlandaio]], [[Agostino di Duccio]]) and [[Veneto]] ([[Giovanni Bellini]]), from 14th to 19th century.
