The Taverna Civic Museum is housed in the former Convent of S. Domenico, dating back to 1464, with the church of S. Domenico joined. The cloister leads to the ticket office, an ancient apothecary of the Dominican Fathers, that preserves the original ornaments. The current exhibition route , founded in 1989, goes from the latest visual researches of the past century, until the seventeenth century. The core of valuable work, from the XVIII to the XVII century, comes from churches and convents of Taverna and from private collections.Among the artists, we remember: Mattia Preti, born in Taverna in 1613, famous exponent of 600’ baroque painting, his brother Gregorio, Luca Giordano, Antonio De Bellis , Giovan Battista Spinelli and the Sarnelli Brothers. In 2005 the Museum was expanded with the establishment of the Contemporary Art Gallery, that exhibits in the current structure artifacts, including drawings, paintings, sculptures, of Italian art and Calabrian authors.
