The Carrara Academy is one of the civil status offices of the Municipality of Bergamo and makes its halls available for the celebration of weddings.
A building of high historical value, embellished by a fascinating collection of ancient and modern works of art, becomes a unique and refined location in which to celebrate your special day.
Our staff can help you organise the civil ceremony in the Museum’s spaces, agreeing on how it should be conducted and the layout of the spaces.
At the end of the celebration, it is possible to conduct individual or guided tours of the art gallery or arrange light refreshments for guests.
On Tuesdays or during evening hours, when the Carrara Academy is closed to the public, it is also possible to organise the reception celebrations.

Finally, you can give your guests a special cadeau: a free entrance ticket to the museum in customised packaging, to relive the beauty of the Accademia Carrara.
