Palazzo Lanfranchi
Museo nazionale d'arte medievale e moderna della Basilicata
A national art museum in a 17th-century seminary, whose centrepiece is Carlo Levi’s monumental painting “Lucania 61.”
Palazzo Lanfranchi was built in the 17th century as a seminary and is now the National Museum of Medieval and Modern Art of Basilicata. Its collection includes medieval religious wood carvings, baroque paintings, and 20th-century works. The most celebrated piece is “Lucania 61,” a panoramic painting by writer and painter Carlo Levi. His book “Christ Stopped at Eboli” brought national attention to the poverty of the Sassi. The museum is usually closed on Mondays, and admission details are on the official website.
