Very interesting museum, quite small though. Also quite cheap for -25 years old

Really fascinating place. It was really interesting to see how the kitchen looked. The decor in the rooms was remarkable.

Although badly damaged by bombing in World War II, the first and second floors of this palazzo have been carefully restored, and are an opulent and visually magnificent journey through a past era of wealthy Genoese life. The highlight is the hall of mirrors, but there are many features of the interiors to appreciate, including cupboard chapels on both floors. It is these two floors which will be of interest to most visitors. The upper floors are a modern construction which house the Ligurian art collection; while probably only of real interest to aficionados of the genre, it is certainly worth a look. There is a lift for those who have restricted mobility. The ticket is a combined one with the Palazzo Reale, and both are certainly worth devoting some time to.

As an art gallery it is far behind the ones in Florence or Milan. However, being a part of the palace makes it very suitable to the place.
Exposition gives a very good understanding of the life of Ligurian king.
And this watch is apparently predicting a future...

Impressive stone house with large halls and kitchen 🍲🫒🥖 where the art pieces are placed that is now National Gallery.
The place, building completed in 1593, is in the list of 42 palaces which now form the UNESCO World Heritage Site, named for Francesco Grimaldi.

Would recommend a visit. It wasn’t too busy and had some interesting exhibitions. We paid €2 each for under 25 rate. Make sure you know how to get here precisely as the streets around this location seemed like the red light district of Genoa.

This was my favorite Palazzo in Genoa and it is the first one to open in the morning (avoiding the crowds) just a block away from Palazzo Rosso and Bianco. It features great art pieces (from paintings to furnitures and table ware) along with rooms representing the way nobles lived back in the days. Highly recommend the place if you want to learn more about Genovese art and way of living along with the way art changed throughout the centuries in Genoa. The staff is friendly and helpful.
