"16th-century art gallery with gorgeous gardens Nestled among the stunning palaces of the UNESCO World Heritage Palazzi Dei Rolli, Palazzo Bianco was built in the late 16th century by the Grimaldi family, one of the 28 'albergi' families that ruled Genoa for centuries. Today, the gorgeous building houses an art museum focusing primarily on Flemish and Italian artists, with a strong emphasis on Genovese artists themselves. But do not miss the opportunity to stroll out into the gardens. They are magnificent anytime of year, but especially beautiful in early spring."

Palazzo Bianco, part of the Strada Nuova Museums in Genoa, is a must-visit for art and history lovers. Housed in a beautifully restored 16th-century palace, the museum boasts an impressive collection of European paintings from the 12th to the 17th centuries. Highlights include works by Van Dyck, Caravaggio, Veronese, and local Ligurian artists. The layout is clean and well-organized, allowing visitors to appreciate the art without feeling overwhelmed. The views from the upper floors over Genoa’s rooftops are an added bonus. While some signage could be more detailed in English, the atmosphere, quality of the collection, and historical setting make it a rich cultural experience. A great stop for those exploring Genoa’s artistic heritage.

Worth visiting if you’re in Genoa. You’ll be able to visit 3 museums for 9€. There’s a lot to see. I went at around 10am on a weekday and it was practically empty.

A grand palace and a wonderful little museum. The Palazzo Bianco is one of three palazzi of the Musei di Strada Nuova. The palazzo is a wonderful renaissance palace with an impressive facade and gardens. Besides some grand staircases, most rooms are exhibition rooms for the art collection. The museum has many wonderful paintings by local Italian masters, but also some foreign (Dutch - Flemish) painters. While renovating the Palazzo Rosso, the Palazzo Bianco temporarily has some of the Anthony Van Dyck paintings of the Brignole-Sale dynasty on exhibition. A ticket also gives access to the adjacent Palazzo Tursi.

The Musei do Strada Nuova comprises three palaces on Via Garibaldi. They house art, interior items and are lavishly decorated with a tonne of frescoes and gorgeous details. I was there on a Tuesday morning and had the place almost to myself. A couple of the staff were incredobly friendly and chatted to me for some time about the collections and their lives. The museum is good value, only €9 euro for everything, and you could easily spend a half day looking at everything. I spent about 2.5 hours looking around. My favourite collections were the lace room and the landscapes on Palazzo Rosso. The only negative is that it is hard to find your way about, in some places staff will direct you, but it would be easy to miss something. Paganinis violin was especially tucked away. Some more signage would be helpful.

I really enjoyed this museum when I came here in the summer of 2018. They had a beautiful collection of instruments, including Paganini’s violin. The courtyards are also beautiful. Always look up, there is something exquisite you might miss.

Great museum for a day in Genoa. We came in on the cruise ship and didn't have to much time, so did a highlights, quick walking tour. Enjoyed the museums collection.
