The Civico Museo Teatrale Carlo Schmidl is the municipal music and theater museum of the city of Trieste . It was founded in 1924 by the publisher Carlo Schmidl in the Teatro Verdi opera house and is now located in the Palazzo Gopcevich on the Grand Canal in Borgo Teresiano .

The Palazzo Gopcevich was built in 1850 by Giovanni Berlam for the Serbian banker Spiridon Gopcevich in an eclectic style. Its decoration shows the famous battle of the Serbs in 1389 under King Lazar in what is now Kosovo.

The museum is located on the first floor of the palazzo. It includes local and European musical instruments , costumes, manuscripts and other testimonies of musical creativity from the 18th and 19th centuries and, after the Museo Teatrale alla Scala in Milan, is one of the most important music museums in Italy.
