Museo Poldi-Pezzoli

Museo Poldi-Pezzoli Review

This exceptional museum, opened in 1881, was once a private residence and collection, and contains not only pedigreed paintings but also porcelain, textiles, and a cabinet with scenes from Dante's life. The gem is undoubtedly the Portrait of a Lady by Antonio Pollaiuolo (1431-98), one of the city's most prized treasures and the source of the museum's logo. The collection also includes masterpieces by Botticelli (1445-1510), Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506), Giovanni Bellini (1430-1516), and Fra Filippo Lippi (1406-69). Private guided tours are available by reservation.
