The book continues to provide the experience of restoration and adaptation of historic architectures in a compatible use, as museums. After an historical profile of Italian and European museums, with especially attention on Vatican Museums, we continued on some European exemplified cases after the Second World War. In first paragraphs have been addressed some interventions done in Fifthes and Sixties in Italy. Then we continued with Franco Minissi, Guido Canali and Andrea Bruno’s experiences in restoration and adaptation works. We gave an overview of some museums and their extensions in different cities as Paris, Madrid, London and Berlin. We think that was also important to give some issues about the adaptation works in a compatible use of architectural pre-existences. In conclusion we wanted to give an overview about contemporary atmosphere about museology and museography.
