The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Centro Storico
The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch expedition into a royal experience. Head to the rooftop of the flagship La Rinascente to enjoy the view of the animated square with a panorama of the Duomo. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the street for high-end shopping. Brands of all kinds and street artists attract the attention of all visitors; while at Via Santa Radegonda 16, Luini Panzerotti is a much appreciated street food shop providing unimaginable culinary experiences. If shopping takes its toll on you, consider visiting Castello Sforzesco, a 15th century castle housing several museums. Those looking to relax can go to Parco Sempione, where nature provides respite from the energy of this dynamic and international city.

Im a tough grader so I gave it 3 Stars but this was a very good and interesting museum with both genuine antiques and those made in the late 1800 and 1900 hundreds both labeled properly. The house was decorated and designed with the Renaissance in mind which happens to be my favorite time period. Beautiful and well displayed collection.
I’d only recommend to those interested either the renaissance or 18th / 19th century Italian high society houses.

We had a good time strolling through the excessively decorated rooms of this collector's residence - but didn't feel the urge for the full immersion.
The mansion is decorated with a combination of ceilings, panels etc, copied or moved from churches and the like. In addition, there are many things from the previous owners' collection of hundreds of years old caskets, vases and weapons.
The audio guide is on the web, but wasn't working the day we were there, so consider finding a podcast or article about the place beforehand. Without background info, this remained the dark living room of a couple of rich collectors, with a hodgepodge of things.

The Bagatti Valsecchi museum is a Renaissance-inspired house museum set up inside the historic family residence, located in the center of Milan, in a side street of Via Montenapoleone. The visit to the museum is divided into fifteen rooms in which furnishings, paintings, sculptures, weapons and armor and an infinite number of various period objects are visible, collected over years of fervent collecting activity by the two brothers who owned the building at the end Nineteenth century. For those who wish, there is an audio guide in different languages that can be downloaded from the site, alternatively rather detailed information sheets are present in each room. A visit that is certainly pleasant and interesting even if the rooms are poorly lit.

Interesting experience. The house museum is located in a very central area within the fashion quadrilateral. Too bad it has a trendy restaurant underneath and always full of people and confusion. The rooms of the house are interesting.

The price of this museum was more reasonable than others in the area. This is simply a former residence opened to the public as a museum. It reminded me of being a much smaller version of the Wallace Collection in London England. I wondered if some of the skulls were real. Check that out and let me know!

This was one of my favorite houses on the Milan house pass. It is out of the way and perfect because there were hardly anyone there in the middle of the day. It is a beauty and worth a visit. It will not disappoint. Get the house pass for the best value.

I think there isn't a similar place in the world! Renaissance styled residence built in the XIX century, located at the heart of Milan's fashion district it has an amazing art and furniture collection, the mansion had been inhabited until 1975 so every corner is in pristine conditions. It also has a very complete audio-guide system (included in the ticket fee). Staff are extremely friendly as most of them are volunteers. I would recommend people to buy the "Case museo" card for €15.00 in order to be able to visit other 4 museums for a better price. http://www.casemuseomilano.it/en/

Stepping from the 21st century bustle in the middle of the most famous shopping area in Milan into the peaceful beauty of the Renaissance. In the 19th century the wealthy Bagatti Valsecchi brothers turned their home into a private Renaissance Palazzo. Their family continued to live their up to the late 20th century. Then they moved just across Via San Spirito into their slightly smaller 2nd Palazzo. In 1994 the larger Palazzo was converted into a museum showing in great detail how a wealthy Milanese family lived in the 19th century. It's so exquisitely presented that you expect the former owners to walk in at any minute. This palazzo is charming and a great place to feel like you are really in a Milanese home. The audio guide explains what you are seeing and occasionally you hear the last owner's voice telling you about his live there.
The entrance ticket is 8 euros and includes an audio guide in several languages as well as info cards in each room. You won't regret you visit and can easily spend a whole day there!
One of the courtyards and parts of the ground floor now house the good and expensive deli and restaurant "Il Salumaio di Montenapoleone".

Together with the Poldi-Pezzoli museum one of the less known museums. Small but worth visiting, also walking distance from the duomo. A renaissance palace belonging to two brothers who spent their life collecting furniture and art. It has still a "home" feeling ...Excellent English signage in every room (also a few other languages). It doesn't take hours to visit but it's a little change from all the fashion shops in the neighbourhood...
