Museo Civico Ala Ponzone

Just incredible. Could easily spend more than the 2 hours spent there. Its huge and so diverse. A part of it didn't expect that much, just amazing. The drawings, the painting collection of so many periods and such diverse painters, the sculptures, the porcelain, the decorations but also the building itself... Leaves you in awe. Also the last room in grey shades with the piano or the guitar collection with the history of these instruments gives you a lot. Definitely on the list if you go to Cremona. Some rooms very cold while others very warm, maybe they can improve that. Toilets, clean, place to charge the mobile phone, friendly staff, very quiet and lovely place.

Great museum, you can spend easily +3 hours there, the music instrument collection is amazing. Be careful, it can get hot in the summer, and the hours are not very wide. The staff is very nice.

The museum is in a beautiful big villa wie in the middle of the city centre. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The entrance fee of 7€is okay, I guess. The exhibition, well, there are no english descriptions for the pictures or pieces. You have to download an app for a fully guidance of the museum in different languages. They advertise with Arcimboldo, a famous Italian painter. They One picture of him. O N E !!! The guitar exhibition is interesting but I don't like seeing 20 pieces one after another just because they look slightly different. Of course, they are amazingly built from very ancient times... No paintings from this time work the guitars on it or how they have been played or how they have been built... No story behind it. Yes, a little bit in Italian....but very nice rooms of the villa. The Japanese porcelain exhibition is quite a sight worth. People who are interested in clerical, ecclesiastical art will be happy to find a lot in there.

The art gallery housing Caravaggio’s St Francis in Meditation (Il San Francesco in Meditazione). There are 4 sections of art in the whole gallery and I needed 1.5 hours to see things comfortably. Friendly staff and had the place to myself!

Nice museum, u can get there for free every first sunday of the month.

Wonderful display of exquisite paintings from a far different era. Very warm inside walking around this newly renovated museo.

Loved this museum. I came to see their Caravaggio which is beautifully hung.

Excellent collection of Italian artist paintings from the renaissance. There's no more violin collection btw as some said in previous reviews.
