Museo Santa Caterina

Museo Santa Caterina, Treviso, Italy, 2007

In 2003 Casson Mann were invited to design a masterplan for the Museo Santa Caterina in Treviso, Italy. The museum occupies an old monastery near the centre of the town and incorporates the church of Santa Caterina, now used for concerts and the temporary display of a cycle of frescoes by Tomasso da Modena as well as its own, now fragmented frescoes, some by Giovanni di Paolo.

The major part of the museum however is in the monastery building, consisting of a lower ground level of local archaeological finds, a ground level of roman antiquities including some fine mosaic pavements also from the locality, and a picture gallery on the upper floor. This first phase of work, completed in 2007, with Goppion S.p.A as collaborator, was for the lower and ground floor levels only.
