📖

Full description

The Poldi Pezzoli Museum began as a private collection and still feels like a lived-in home, entered through a discreet door on Via Alessandro Manzoni that opens onto an inner courtyard. Its rooms hold an extensive range of Italian paintings alongside works by Flemish masters, set among decorative arts and period interiors.

Reviewers praise how quiet it tends to be, which allows unhurried viewing. It suits couples and art lovers who want an intimate, elegant alternative to Milan's larger galleries, and about an hour covers the highlights comfortably.

Reviews

We stumbled upon this museum while searching for an alternative to the Brera (which was closed that day), and we were very fortunate to have done so. This was originally a private collection, and includes a huge variety of beautifully preserved pieces of art. Highly recommended.
