Museum of the Risorgimento
Museum of the Risorgimento, History museum at Palazzo Moriggia, Milan, Italy
The Museum of the Risorgimento contains fifteen exhibition rooms displaying objects, documents, and artworks related to Italian unification from 1796 to 1870.
The museum opened in 1886 following the Exhibition of Turin, relocating multiple times before settling in the Palazzo Moriggia, designed by Giuseppe Piermarini in 1775.
The collection includes Napoleon Bonaparte's coronation cloak, the Lombard Legion banner, paintings by Francesco Hayez, and the first Italian flag.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:30, with closures on Mondays and major holidays including January 1 and December 25.
During World War II, the museum temporarily moved its collection to Casa Manzoni for protection before establishing its current location in 1951.
