Cariparma Foundation Museum, Art museum in central Parma, Italy.

The Museo Fondazione Cariparma occupied Palazzo Bossi Bocchi at strada al Ponte Caprazucca 4, donated to the foundation by Claudia Bossi in Bocchi in 1977. Its exhibition spread over three floors: banknotes in the basement, temporary exhibitions on the ground floor, and the permanent collection of paintings, statues, engravings, coins, ceramics and furniture on the first floor. The collection is now viewable only online.

Claudia Bossi in Bocchi donated the family palace to Fondazione Cariparma in 1977; from 1995 it housed the foundation and its museum. The collection grew through the 2002 transfer of the Cassa di Risparmio di Parma e Piacenza holdings and the 2014 donation of 70 works by Renato and Tita Bruson. The museum closed to the public in 2020 and the collection is now viewable only online.

The rooms carry the names of the works they hold: the Sala del Parmigianino keeps his pen self-portrait and eight etchings, while the Sala di Maria Luigia displays a portrait of the duchess and her pearl necklace. The Sala Giovan Battista Borghesi is decorated with a neoclassical fresco cycle of mythological scenes by Maria Luigia's court painter.

The museum closed to the public in 2020; the collection of over 3,000 works can now be viewed only virtually on the Fondazione Cariparma website. The former display occupied three floors of Palazzo Bossi Bocchi at strada al Ponte Caprazucca 4: the basement held the paper-money collection, the ground floor was used for temporary exhibitions, and the first floor held the permanent paintings, statues, prints, coins, ceramics and furniture.

The collection grew through private gifts: in 2014 Renato and Tita Bruson donated 70 works, including paintings by Giovanni Boldini, Giovanni Fattori and Giovanni Segantini. The museum closed to the public in 2020, and the collection can now be viewed only virtually on the Fondazione's website.
