Sunday at the Museum — Pandone Castle
The first Sunday of the month with free admission to the National Museum of Pandone Castle
About Sunday at the Museum
Once a month, the museum is free
In Venafro (province of Isernia), the National Museum of Pandone Castle participates in "Sunday at the Museum", the initiative by the Ministry of Culture that makes admission to state museums and cultural sites free on the first Sunday of each month. A monthly event that invites residents and visitors to rediscover one of Molise's symbolic monuments.
Count Pandone's Frescoed Horses
The castle houses a cycle of frescoes unique in the world: between 1522 and 1527, Count Enrico Pandone had the noble floor rooms frescoed with portraits of his own horses, the stallions from the royal stables that he himself bred. There is also the "Salone nobile" with 16th-century pastoral-themed frescoes.
The Collections of the Museum of Molise
In another wing, the castle houses the National Museum of Molise, which preserves paintings from the early Christian era to the modern period. A visit to Pandone Castle is an unmissable stop for anyone wanting to understand the history and art of the Venafro and Molise region.
