The Musei di Strada Nuova is the main art gallery in the Italian city of Genoa and comprises three museums which together form a single complex, housed in three adjacent historical buildings: Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Tursi, located at the end of monumental Via Garibaldi (formerly Strada Nuova). Palazzo Tursi is also Genoa's city hall.
The unified collection was founded in 2004 with the decision to create a single visitor route linking all three palaces, all with a single owner. Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco had already been independent museums since 1874 and 1892 respectively, whilst parts of Palazzo Tursi had been given over to cultural uses since 2004. The route begins with 15th–20th century paintings in the Palazzo Rosso, followed by art produced in Genoa and Liguria by Spanish, Flemish and Italian artists from the 15th century onwards in the Palazzo Bianco, and concludes in the Palazzo Tursi with Antonio Canova's Penitent Magdalene and the ceramic, numismatic and Paganini collections.
