Bagatti Valsecchi Museum

With most rooms still displaying the original old interiors, the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum is a great place for people aspiring to get a glimpse of the way that opulent Milanese families led life before World War II. The permanent collection includes unique paintings, sculptures and decorative arts, all handpicked and collected by the founders themselves. And the best part is that you get detailed information in multiple languages in every segment of the museum.

Located in the heart of downtown Milan, in the midst of the Golden Rectangle, a prestigious district famous for its boutiques, the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum is a historic house museum built in the typical 19th-century Renaissance style by Fausto and Giuseppe in 1883. Decorated after the vintage style of ducal palaces of Mantua, this living museum is actually a series of apartments of the Bagatti Valsecchi brothers and replete with Renaissance furnishings, tapestries, paintings and ceiling friezes.
