I enjoyed this former residence of Pezzoli turned museum as the day of our visit, there was a special exhibition of the four ladies portraits brought in from 3 other museums. This is not a big museum and there are several items worth seeing but it won't take more than 2 hours, at best.
I took my 7 year old daughter for a visit and we were totally overwhelmed and impressed, a beautiful experience. My daughter loved it! Very inexpensive also, €9 for me and free for my daughter. Afterwards we walked down to via Della spiga. A beautiful day.
You can find this small museum just north of the Scala theatre - very good value for money (E10) - lots of rooms and interesting artwork and features
Found this to be a very interesting museum and glad we saw it. A diverse collection of items and hardly any tourists so had plenty of time and space to visit. A must see if in Milan
The museum is based on a private collection and includes many different types of objects (paintings, jewels, swords, armors...).Everything amazingly beautiful, and amazingly well exposed and illuminated (you will hardly see any light reflection on glass protections).Many other Italian museums (too often rich in content, but not that well organised and exposed) could learn something from this place.
A lovely milanese villa, now a museum. I enjoyed it, but it was not as notable as I expected. The Ambrosiana is a better choice if you have limited time
The historical background is quite interesting and what this young man collected worth seeing. From arms and other military paraphernalia to rugs and an excellent art collection there is something for every taste.
The Museum Poldi Pezzoli is near La Scala so it is an easy walk from center city. First the palace itself is amazing in that a family actually lived on the property. The collections are too numerous to mention, but know that many are of objects one will not find elsewhere --- sundials, decorative arts, jewelry, etc. along with religious art and objects from the 13th and 14th centuries. Each salon is filled with like objects. The information is shared in English for easier understanding of those who do not read Italian. Do not miss this beautiful building and its wondrous contents.
The museum is nice to see but it's quite small it won't take you long to visit it but it is worthing especially if it is a rainy weather
The Poldi Pezzoli Museum is situated in the centre of Milan, a few steps from piazza della Scala .It has a collection of porcelains and old beautiful embroideries .It also and often the location for important exhibitions
