Inscription.
Straordinario esempio di casa-museo,
ospita una tra le piω raffinate collezioni
artistiche del XIX secolo. A partire
dal 1850 il nobile Gian Giacomo
Poldi Pezzoli decide di destinare un
appartamento del palazzo di famiglia a
luogo d'esposizione delle proprie raccolte.
I lavori, condotti da Giuseppe Balzaretto,
danno vita a una sequenza di ambienti
decorati secondo diversi stili del passato.
Le sale, espressione del gusto eclettico del
tempo, diventano raffinati contenitori di
oggetti e opere d'arte antica. Il museo
viene inaugurato nel 1881, due anni
dopo la morte del fondatore e per sua
precisa disposizione testamentaria.
L'edificio, gravemente danneggiato
dai bombardamenti nel 1943, θ
sottoposto a un delicato, restauro e
riaperto al pubblico nel 1951. Nella
superba collezione spiccano capolavori di
Pollaiolo, Botticelli, Giovanni Bellini,
Mantegna, Piero della Francesca, Tiepolo
e Guardi. Oltre ai dipinti, il museo
raccoglie quasi 3000 oggetti tra cui vetri,
armi, porcellane, arazzi, tappeti e orologi.

of the
19th century. In 1850 nobleman Gian
Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli decided to set aside
one apartment of his family palace as a
place in which to display his collections.
The renovation project, designed by
Giuseppe Balzaretto, created a sequence
of rooms decorated in different period
styles. In keeping with the eclectic fashion
of the time, these spaces were intended
as elegant backdrops for the display of
ancient artworks and objets d'art. The
museum opened in 1881, two years after
the death of its founder and in accordance
with the terms of his will. It was badly
damaged in the air raid attacks of 1943,
but after careful restoration reopened to the
public in 1951. The magnificent collection
includes masterpieces by Pollaiolo,
Botticelli, Giovanni Bellini, Mantegna,
Piero della Francesca, Tiepolo and Guardi,
along with some 3,000 other items
(glassware, porcelain, weaponry, carpets,
tapestries and timepieces).
