The Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan opened on April 26, 1881, in the home of collector Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli, who bequeathed his house and 5,000 objects to the public. The collection emphasizes Renaissance painting, arms and armor, textiles, clocks, and jewelry.
Mantegna, Botticelli, and Piero della Francesca are among the painters represented. The Portrait of a Young Woman by Antonio del Pollaiuolo, used as the museum's symbol, is one of the finest profile portraits of the Italian Renaissance. Poldi Pezzoli assembled his collection room by room, each in a different historical style, and that eclectic arrangement survives today.

Visiting Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan
A house museum in Milan containing the collection of Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli (1822-1879). He transformed his apartment into a showcase for Renaissance art, armor, and decorative arts.
Both are excellent but different. Brera is comprehensive and encyclopedic. Poldi Pezzoli is intimate and personal, showing one collector's taste. The armory alone is worth the visit.
A pass covering Milan's four house museums: Poldi Pezzoli, Bagatti Valsecchi, Casa Boschi di Stefano, and Villa Necchi Campiglio. Good value if you're interested in this museum type.
