Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi

Late 16th century Palazzo acquired by the Mansi family in 1616 and redone in the Baroque style. We enjoyed the ornate walls/ceilings and giant trimmed-to-fit-each-room tapestries. Our guide said the original paintings were sold to cover gambling debts, so most of the paintings we saw came from elsewhere including the Medici family.

A lovely walk through a former 17C home of a silk merchant. This museum houses tapesries, silk clothing, 80+ paintings from Medici collection and, of course, lavishly decorated rooms.

An interesting museum with a good collection of 15th to 17th century art. Located in a stunning decorated apartment for 4€ each it represents good value.

Well worth visiting. Some amazing art work and the tapestries are gorgeous. Clearly a well curated and well managed museum with a lot to offer . Upper floor was closed but for €4 per person, it was great value for money & time very well spent on a wet & miserable day in Lucca

This is a must see in Lucca. Nicely laid out museum with plenty of good paintings to see in a gallery setting. The rooms were very interesting and the tapestries amazing. Spend an hour or two and see it all. History of Palazzo Mansi is quite interesting. Good value for money.

Found this museum while on a day trip to Lucca. This is a beautiful old building with many furnishings. It is amazing how Italy has been able to preserve these old landmarks. It usually takes about 90 minutes to get through the whole museum which was a wonderful experience.

It’s a good surprise for me to find this small museum! It’s a good opportunity to learn a bit history of Lucca and it’s prominent families. So happy to see a room which is dedicated to the Medici family. The price is only 4 euro per adult.

Palazzo Mansi is inexpensive to visit; the state rooms are lavish and the tapestries (spread across four rooms!) are spectacular. Worth the entrance fee to see the trompe l’oeil painted ceilings, which really do look like three dimensional stone adorned with guided statues. Amazing!
