Museo Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti

This museum is situated on the first floor of the building which hosts the Academy of the same name, built in 1751 by a group of nobles, scholars, and artists. The museum exhibits various paintings and drawings by great 16th-19th century painters, including Perin del Vaga, L. Cambiaso, B. Strozzi, D. Fiasella, and il Grecchetto. The paintings are not on permanent display, due to lack of space they are exhibited in turn. There is also an interesting plaster casts gallery. Conferences and temporary exhibitions also take place here.

Museo Diocesano

The Museo Diocesano provides a deep insight into Genoa's past because of the records that the church has kept over the centuries. Archaeological remains have been carefully preserved and showcased, along with elaborate clergy vestments and oil paintings. The textile collection is especially awe-inspiring and contains several pieces from over the ages. A visit here is well worth your time.

Edoardo Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art

The building which houses this museum was built specifically by the architect Mario Labò in 1971. It stands in a splendid panoramic position inside the Parco di Villetta di Negro. This is the most important Italian collection of its kind, and it includes almost 15,000 items. The collection was put together by the engraver and patron Edoardo Chiossone during his 23 years in Japan. With an unusual amount of attention for that period, he began to study and eventually collected many works of art, accumulating a huge collection of historically and artistically valuable works of art. The exhibition, which is probably visited more by Japanese tourists than the Genoese, is displayed in two large rooms dedicated to Buddhist sculpture from Eastern Asia and in five galleries linked by stairs forming a continuous path.

Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Reale

Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Reale is inside the 17th Century building, built by Stefano Balbi. It was then enlarged by the Durazzo family, before passing to the Savoy kingdom in 1824. It is the most important example of a stately home in Genova. This is largely due to the enormous size and splendor of the building. After you have had a look at the peaceful hanging gardens created in 1739, you will come to the monumental staircase which was created to go up to the aristocratic floor. The rooms there are richly decorated with frescoes, paintings, and stuccoes. They still contain many of the original furniture and picture galleries. You can also see the Battle room, the Veronese room, the splendid Mirror room and the Throne room. You can then go onto the terrace, where there is a stupendous view of the old city and of the port up to the Lanterna.

Raccolte Frugone a Villa Fassio

Set in a splendid park with a rose garden, the eighteenth century villa Grimaldi was renovated in 1960 by the architect Daneri to accommodate the residential requirements of the Fassio family. It houses two important art collections, donated to the council by the brothers Lazzaro, G.B. and Luigi Frugone in 1935 and 1953. The Frugone collections, open to the public since 1993, comprised 286 works, including sculptures, paintings and drawings by both Italian and foreign artists from the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. They are displayed on three floors. There are many portraits and landscapes, in keeping with bourgeoisie artistic taste of the time. Among the best known artists are G. Fattori, T. Signorini, G. Boldini, G. De Nittis, L. Bistolfi, G. Segantini; there are also several paintings by R. Miller. The museum also has an interesting information archive and school or family learning sessions can be arranged. There is also a crèche which may be used on request.
