Poldi Pezzoli Museum - by Troy Tester on Google
Description
The Poldi Pezzoli Museum is a house museum that originated in the 19th century as the private collection of Count Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli. It is housed inside the neo-classical Palazzo Moriggia Della Porta and exhibits works by famous artists such as Bellini, Botticelli, Canaletto, Francis Hayez, and Andrea Mantegna. The museum also includes weaponry, glassworks, ceramics, jewellery, and furnishings.
Access & Transport
The museum is located on Via Alessandro Manzoni, 100m from La Scala and very close to the 'Montenapoleone' tram stop (3) and metro station (3).
Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with a guided tour of Teatro alla Scala or an exploration of the Quadrilatero della Moda neighbourhood. The Pinacoteca di Brera and Bagatti Valsecchi Museum are also a short walk away.
Environmental & Social
We deem this attraction environmentally neutral (limited carbon footprint). Positive from a social perspective as the museum helps preserve the artistic and architectural heritages left by the Poldi Pezzoli family to the city.
Conclusion
The Poldi Pezzoli Museum is under the radar compared to some of Milan's best-known cultural venues and it provides a more intimate experience. The artwork is good, without being top-tier.
Key positive
Many high-quality paintings and the armoury collection
Key negative
Expensive
