The historic home, where the family Miniscalchi lived for 5 centuries, since 1977 has been restored and converted into a museum open to the public according to of Count Mario Miniscalchi-Erizzo's will.
The museum is divided into 15 rooms on the noble floor: there are displayed collections of ancient art, which were added over the years some donations.
As well as antique furniture and paintings, we report 2 rooms of small Renaissance bronzes, a room of ancient drawings, the historic library, the archaeological room, the chapel with sacred art objects, the reconstituted Francesco Calzolari's "Wunderkammer" (mid XIV century), the armory, majolica, antique Venetian glass, French Napoleonic porcelain era and various other antique furnishings. the museum exhibition reconciles the scientific rigor of the exposure with the flavor of an inhabitated house.
The museum regularly organizes temporary exhibitions in the special rooms on the ground floor of the building and equipped conference room on the second floor, where, in the other 4 rooms are also ordered the important archival collections. Both the noble floor and the conference room can be reached by lift.
