Museo Borgogna

The Museo Borgogna occupies Palazzo Borgogna and displays over 800 artworks including paintings, frescoes, sculptures, and tapestries arranged across multiple floors. The collection brings together both Italian and European pieces spanning different artistic periods.

The museum was founded in 1907 by Antonio Borgogna and Vincenzo Laviny and received significant additions in 1932 from the Institute of Fine Arts and former religious buildings. These acquisitions allowed the collection to expand well beyond its original scope.

The museum displays works by Italian masters such as Titian and Bernardino Luini alongside Flemish and Dutch paintings spanning multiple centuries. This collection reflects the tastes of its founders and offers visitors insight into European artistic traditions.

The museum operates with limited opening hours on specific weekdays and weekends, so visitors should verify times before planning their visit. Access to the palace is through the main entrance where information about viewing the collections is available.

A bronze bust of Antonio Borgogna, created in 1910 by Francesco Porzio, greets visitors at the museum entrance. This sculpture honors the founder and marks the personal passion for collecting that built this institution.
