Il Museo nazionale di San Matteo è il più importante museo di pittura e scultura a Pisa, situato nella piazzetta di San Matteo in Soarta.
Situato nel convento medievale di San Matteo, si affaccia sull'Arno con un elegante prospetto in stile romanico pisano ed una facciata classicheggiante. Possiede una serie completa di opere dei principali maestri pisani e più in generale toscani dal XII al XVII secolo, oltre a reperti archeologici e ceramici.
Il numero e la rilevanza delle opere qui custodite fanno del San Matteo, sito forse meno noto di quanto meriterebbe, uno dei musei più importanti d'Europa in tema di arte medioevale. Straordinaria in particolare è la collezione di opere pittoriche del territorio pisano del XII e XIII secolo. Il valore di queste opere porta sempre più gli studi storico-artistici a riconoscere che quella pisana sia stata la maggior scuola pittorica italiana sino alle soglie del XIII secolo.
Dal dicembre 2014 il Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali lo gestisce tramite il Polo museale della Toscana, nel dicembre 2019 divenuto Direzione regionale Musei.
I Musei civici di Padova, noti anche come Musei civici agli Eremitani, sono un complesso museale situato in piazza Ermitani nella città di Padova.
I musei civici raggruppano il Museo archeologico e il Museo d'arte medioevale e moderna. Dal 1985 è ospitato nei chiostri dell'ex convento dei frati eremitani, restaurati secondo il progetto degli architetti Franco Albini e Franca Helg. Da alcuni anni fa parte dei musei civici anche il prospiciente palazzo Zuckermann, che ospita il Museo di arti applicate e il Museo Bottacin.
Il nucleo più antico del museo è l'antica collezione dei Canonici Lateranensi di San Giovanni di Verdara resa pubblica nel 1784. Il Convento di San Giovanni fu soppresso nel 1783 e le raccolte artistiche furono assegnate al Comune.
Dopo le soppressioni di enti religiosi avvenute in epoca napoleonica, il nome del Museo fu dato nel 1825 alla raccolta di iscrizioni venetiche, greche e romane che l'abate Furlanetto aveva esposto nelle logge del Palazzo della Ragione.
È annessa al complesso la cappella degli Scrovegni con il celebre ciclo di affreschi di Giotto.
Recentemente, nel piano nobile del Caffè Pedrocchi, è stato allestito il Museo del Risorgimento e dell'età contemporanea.
Nel 2012 è stato visitato da 256.471 persone.

The Hospital de Tavera, also known as the Hospital de San Juan Bautista, Hospital de afuera, or simply as Hospital Tavera, is an important Building of Renaissance style that is in the Spanish city of Toledo. It was built between 1541 and 1603 by order of the Cardinal Tavera. This hospital is dedicated to John the Baptist and also served as pantheon for its patron, Cardinal Tavera. Initially it began to be constructed under the supervision of Alonso de Covarrubias, being succeeded by other architects and finishing the work Bartolomé Bustamante.
The remoteness with the old part of the city made it known as el hospital de afuera, since within the walls there already existed the Hospital de Santa Cruz.
Currently the building remains the property of the House of Medinaceli and inside it is the Museo Fundación Lerma, which houses part of the artistic collections of this lineage, as well as the Section of the Nobility of the National Historic Archive.
The De Morgan Centre for the Study of 19th Century Art and Society was a gallery in the London Borough of Wandsworth, England, which was home for a few years to the De Morgan Collection – a large collection of the work of the Victorian ceramic artist William De Morgan and his wife, the painter Evelyn De Morgan. William De Morgan's work was inspired by Middle Eastern and particularly Iznik ceramics which created in vivid blue and green glazes. De Morgan is also credited with the rediscovery in Victorian Britain of the art of lustre glazes. Evelyn De Morgan's art is notable for her rich use of colour and her emphasis on strong female protagonists. The De Morgans were involved in the social issues of the day such as women's suffrage, and this engagement was covered by the museum.
The De Morgan Collection includes oil paintings, ceramics, drawings and archive material related to the De Morgans and their circle and it was formed by Evelyn De Morgan's sister, Mrs Wilhelmina Stirling, who wrote several books under the name A. M. W. Stirling. Mrs Stirling provided public access to the collection at her home, Old Battersea House, until her death in 1965.
In 1967 the De Morgan Foundation, a registered charity, was formed to care for the collection and parts of it were loaned to a number of locations including Cardiff Castle, Cragside in Northumberland and Knightshayes Court in Devon, all of which have interiors from the years when the De Morgans were active.
From 2002 the De Morgan Foundation provided public access to the De Morgan Collection in a dedicated gallery named the De Morgan Centre, which was based in the former West Hill Reference Library in Wandsworth, South West London. The building dates from 1887, which was coincidentally the year in which the De Morgan's were married. The West Hill Library closed on 28 September 2007 and latterly, the De Morgan Foundation shared the building with Wandsworth Museum. Both the De Morgan Centre and Wandsworth Museum closed to the public on 28 June 2014 due to the discontinuation of their lease by the building's freeholder Wandsworth Council.
Since the closure of the De Morgan Centre, the De Morgan Foundation has moved its office to the Watts Gallery at Compton near Guildford in Surrey and continues to care for and exhibit the De Morgan Collection through a series of loans, exhibitions and tours. More information on the De Morgan Collection and where it can be viewed is available on the De Morgan Foundation's website.
