Museo Mario Praz, House museum at Palazzo Primoli, Rome, Italy
The Museo Mario Praz displays over 1200 pieces including paintings, sculptures, and furniture across ten exhibition halls within Palazzo Primoli.
Mario Praz, an English literature professor and art critic, collected these European artworks and antiques over sixty years before his death in 1982.
The collection features English furniture, French bronzes, Russian malachite, Bohemian crystals, and German china, representing diverse European decorative arts.
The museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM except Tuesdays, with guided tours limited to groups of twelve people lasting forty-five minutes.
Every room maintains fresh flowers in vases and open books on tables, preserving the atmosphere of an inhabited residence from the nineteenth century.
