The collector's home turned into a museu
Museo Poldi Pezzoli
Why locals love it
Located few steps away from the famous opera theatre La Scala, the Poldi Pezzoli Museum is one of the best kept secrets in the city centre. And locals love secrets about their town. Some of the most important and valuable art works in Milan are kept here
Why you should visit it
The simple fact that this family has collected so much stuff around the world to transform their huge mansion in a museum is quite remarkable. The collection is hugely diverse: from precious Persian rugs to paintings and crockery.
