The Palace of Reserves, by Ennemond Petitot, has housed the Glauco Lombardi Museum since 1961. The museum hosts and preserves a rich artistic and historical documentation on the Duchy of Parma from the second half of the 18th century to the Unity of Italy, particularly on the reign of Marie Louise of Austria. Seven halls house a collection of works of art, pieces of furniture, diaries, garments, jewels, documents and Bourbon curiosities.
Among the items that used to belong to Marie Louise is her wedding dowry, designed in 1810 by Prud’hon and given to the Duchess by her husband Napoleon as well as her embroidery basket.
The collection also boasts water-colours by Naudin, engravings by P. Toschi and B. Bossi, a collection of 18th century Parmesan and French paintings and watercolors painted by the Duchess.
If you want to visit the Museum, but your four-legged friend prefers a walk in the green, the Lombardi Museum collaborates with bauadvisor.it, a network of services for friends with a tail that from Rome is expanding throughout the country.
The “Dogs & Museum” initiative, in particular, makes expert dogsitters available to your dog with only 24 hours’ notice, on the day and time you want to plan your visit to the Museum.
If, on the other hand, your friends love the Museums, they can go with you in the appropriate baby carriers, bags or backpacks, or in your arms.
