The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum
One of the most important and best preserved
Historic House Museums of Europe, the
museum is housed on the first, or “noble,”
floor of a structure inspired by lordly
sixteenth century Lombard mansions.
The artistic patrimony gathered at the end
of the nineteenth century for the family home
is presented, today, just as it was: elegant
painted panels and precious collections
of furnishings, ivory and gilded metalwork,
majolica, arms, glass and textiles.
The perfect setting
The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum is nestled
in the heart of historic downtown Milan a few steps
away from via Montenapoleone in the city’s
famous “Quadrilatero” haute couture quarter.
The museum is the perfect setting for moments
dedicated to work encounters, socializing and high
quality events. The unique characteristics of the
surroundings contribute to the success of every
initiative taking place, here. Companies, institutions
and private individuals may stage special events
in the intriguing spaces of the museum, offering
an opportunity to live a fascinating experience
in one of the city’s most important treasures.
its history
In the second half of the nineteenth century,
the brothers Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti
Valsecchi restructured their Milanese family
home. The uniqueness of the project lies
in the creation of a totally integrated
environment in which the building,
decoration and precious objects collected
all contribute equally to faithfully express
a Renaissance environment.
From mansion to museum
The Bagatti Valsecchi family lived in the mansion
until 1974; the museum was inaugurated in 1994,
thanks to the support of civic institutions.
All the works of art and furnishings are displayed
as the brothers wished them to be at the end
of the nineteenth century, thus the precious dialogue
between “container” (the building and rooms)
and “contained” (the collections and furnishings)
make this place an extraordinary historic house
museum in which culture, talent and style live
in perfect harmony.
Squire’s Room
This ample entry room opens
onto an elegant red marble
stairway leading up to the
rooms in the mansion used by
both Fausto and Giuseppe
Study
Conceived of as the first
experience when entering
on the via Santo Spirito side,
this room introduces visitors to
the taste and richness that
characterize the other rooms.
The museum opens its doors
Various spaces inside the museum are available
for your special events: the Grand Salon - the most
distinguished room par excellence, the Dining Room,
the Study and the contiguous Loggia - a large
semi-covered terrace that can be set for cocktails
or refreshments and, on the ground floor,
the refined Squire’s Room.
Special events may take place in the museum after
the evening closing at 5:30 pm.
It is possible to make other special arrangements.
On Mondays, when the museum is closed to the
public, the spaces are available for the entire day.

Cupola Gallery
The Grand Salon is the biggest
room in the museum, and was
the most distinguished room
par excellence. Between the two
halves of the mansion organized
around two courtyards,
the Grand Salon is the central
point of the distribution of space
in the mansion.
Dining Room
The room exemplifies the idea
that animated the Bagatti
Valsecchi project. By “masking”
then-modern comforts of the
end of the nineteenth century
in a Neo-Renaissance style,
they were harmonized
with the Renaissance collections
and decorations.
