The BAGATTI VALSECCHI MUSEUM, one of the most important and best preserved historic house museums in Europe,
shares the art and decorative arts objects collected in the family home at the end of the 19th century. The museum
is managed by a private non-profit foundation created by the Bagatti Valsecchi family in 1975.
Open to the public since 1994, the house's many
fascinating rooms are authentic

weapons and armour, maiolica and glass wares, artefacts in gold and ivory, decorative
metal objects and tapestries.
THE MUSEUM is also a centre for research, courses,
seminars, conferences, concerts and theatre. Its publications focus on various facets of 19th
century culture.
