The Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan collects paintings and sculptures as well as weapons, armor, tapestries, glass, clocks, porcelain, jewelry and antique furniture. Exhibits are arranged in 25 themed rooms. In addition, there you can see sculptures by Arnoldo Pomodoro, frescoes by Carl Innocenza Carlone and library collections of over 3,500 items. The most valuable exhibits of painting include Mourning of Christ Sandra Botticelli, Madonna and Child of Andrea Mantegna Imago Pietatis by Giovanni Bellini and Santa Claus from Tolentino by Pierre Della Francesca.
The museum was created as a result of the last will of a well-known Italian art collector - Gian Giacoma Poldi Pezzoni. Initially, the collection consisted of his private collection. The institution was opened in 1881. It was destroyed during World War II, but valuable exhibits were hidden in a safe place. The museum was reopened after reconstruction in 1951.
