Museo Bagatti Valsecchi

ArchitectureArtHistoryClosed todayFrom €14Montenapoleone (M3)

Barons Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi spent the late 19th century turning their Milan palazzo into an imagined 16th-century noble residence, filled with Renaissance paintings, furniture, tapestries, arms and armour, ceramics and ivories. Rather than a conventional museum, the rooms are staged as a lived-in home, with originals and neo-Renaissance pieces side by side. Highlights include Giovanni Bellini's Saint Justine. Run by a private foundation since 1974, the house opened to the public in 1994.
