The Golden Room restored: the museum closes 8–15 June 2026

June 8–15, 2026
The Museo Poldi Pezzoli will be closed from 8 to 15 June 2026 to allow restoration work to proceed in the Golden Room.

The Museo Poldi Pezzoli will be closed from 8 to 15 June 2026.

The closure is necessary to allow the restoration of the Golden Room, the museum’s principal hall, home to the finest Renaissance masterpieces in the collection. The project, developed with the support of the World Monuments Fund, one of the world’s leading institutions for cultural heritage conservation, aims to restore the room’s original nineteenth-century spatial configuration, uncovering the Serlian window with its marble and bronze decorations, currently concealed behind a plasterboard ceiling.

The museum will reopen on 16 June 2026.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank our visitors for their understanding.
