A Network of Collectors' Historic House Museums
Historic house museums have a special kind of appeal. Visiting a collector's
home, and breathing in the almost tangible atmosphere of a place in which not only the individual
objects fascinate, but also where they are set has a special significance, can be a very different and
entrancing experience. To promote further insights of this kind, the Bagatti
Valsecchi Museum hosts on its web site other collectors' historic homes
open to the public as museums.
This initiative endorses one of the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum's missions: to foster the
same spirit of research that led Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi to
create this unique testimony to the culture of 19th century Milan. Interesting to scholars of museology, taste, design, architecture and art, the "lived-in" spaces of collectors' historic house museums also appeal to the general public.
