The Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino is both an active art school and a museum open to the public. The museum houses a notable collection of plaster casts, which are reproductions of classical and Renaissance sculptures used for teaching. Visitors can see these casts alongside original artworks by students and faculty. The space itself is an inspiring environment, with high ceilings and natural light that enhance the display. It offers insight into the artistic training methods of the past and present. The museum is a hidden gem for art lovers, providing a quieter alternative to Urbino's more famous galleries.
