Sforza Castle Civic Museums
Sforza Castle Civic Museums, Art and history museums inside Sforza Castle, Milan, Italy
Sforza Castle contains museum galleries with artworks and historical objects spread across two levels. The collections feature paintings, sculptures, Egyptian artifacts, ceramics, and bronze pieces from different periods.
The museums developed from a fortress built in the 15th century and were later expanded to display art collections. The stronghold itself has served cultural purposes across many generations.
The museum holds Michelangelo's final sculpture, the Pietà Rondanini, offering visitors a direct encounter with one of history's greatest artists. Alongside it, the painting gallery displays Italian works spanning centuries and shows how artistic styles changed over time.
The galleries are arranged across two floors, making it manageable to explore at a steady pace. Visitors should set aside enough time to see the different collections without rushing.
A lesser-known collection of Egyptian objects contains pieces from ancient Egypt that many visitors overlook. These archaeological pieces offer a surprising window into a distant civilization amid the European art displays.
