Museo del Paesaggio

The Museo del Paesaggio is an art museum in Pallanza, Verbania, housed across three buildings, including the Palazzo Viani Dugnani with its extensive collection. Visitors can see paintings, sculptures, and archaeological artifacts spanning from ancient times to the modern period.

The museum was founded in 1909 by Antonio Massara to preserve the artistic heritage of the Lake Maggiore region. Over the decades, it has expanded its collection and remains an important place for the art and cultural history of the area.

The museum displays works by sculptor Paolo Troubetzkoy, whose busts represent well-known figures, alongside paintings by Daniele Ranzoni. These artworks reflect the artistic tradition that developed in this Lake Maggiore region.

The museum is typically open Friday through Sunday, so checking current hours before visiting is wise. The spaces are easy to navigate and offer a comfortable environment for exploring artworks and archaeological objects.

A special attraction is the archaeological collection featuring Greek, Roman, and Celtic objects excavated in the Ossola Valley at Ornavasso. These rare grave goods offer visitors insight into the ancient cultures that once inhabited this alpine region.
