About
The Accorsi - Ometto Museum, open to the public in Dicember 1999, hosts the polished collection of Pietro Accorsi, one of the most important European antique dealers of the 20th century. The Museum is conceived as a home-museum elegantly furnished, in accordance with the antique dealer's taste and the sensibility of Giulio Ometto, his longstanding collaborator and President of the Foundation. The 27 rooms of the museum, reconstructed with extraordinary richness, recreate a refined home of the eighteenth century, where furniture and objects are fitted into an ancient setting to each other. Among the many masterpieces held, the collection includes the secretaire-cabinet in rare wood with ivory and tortoiseshell made in 1738 by Pietro Piffetti, considered certainly "one of the most beautiful piece of furniture in the world".

This private museum is included in the Torino museum card and worth seeing as part of your tour. You cannot tour alone and have to be accompanied by a guide, with tours on the hour and half hour. As I was entirely alone, the guide spoke in English, but normally the tours are in Italian. There's a lot to see, ranging from rooms packed with china to others with crystal, to others with snuff boxes. Every room is unique, but many are set as they would have been for the Savoy family. However, they are recreations. The Savoy family never lived here.

Truly an art collector's collection - the crystals, porcelains, silverware and furniture pieces were chosen by Mr Accorsi and purchased with much devotion to beauty, heritage n rarity. It helped that we were loaned an English guide book to follow the hour-long Italian-only guided tour through 20+ rooms each with a special theme - this way, we were able to maximise our time n read within the guide book whatever artwork that stood out. Check for guided tour timing to avoid waiting too long. Situated just off Via Po.

Covers the decorative arts of the last 300 years in Europe through displays of different household rooms. Needs more captions and descriptions. Rather a lot of duplication.

If you do venture to this small and lovely museum - do not miss the restaurant Marimisti right next door! This museum is on the Torino & Piedmonte Card - a must purchase if you are in Turin for 3+ days. You only need one hour here and you must be guided through it. The guides speak no English however you are given a few pages which offer the highlights in English to read along with your guide. Our guide was a lovely, elderly gentlemen and since it was just the two of us plus him, we were able to have a good time trying to understand each other. The fine decorate items and furniture were outstanding. You are allowed to take photographs. And for only 1 Euro can bring home a box of their matches. A great museum to visit enroute to the River Po.

One can only visit this collection of various decorative objects with a guide. We were lucky that there was an English-speaking guide when we visited and she gave us a private tour. Photography was prohibited, hence no interior photos are attached. Buy your tickets at the ticket office in the courtyard, then cross the courtyard and go up the steps to meet the guide.

It is lovely collection of household elements, which reflects richness and vibrant lifestyle of several centuries!
you allowed to walk around with guide and need to know some Italian, or ask for English reading material.
Be prepared that some rooms will remind you some palace interiors!

This museum was a complete surprise. Normally my husband would be totally switched off by a collection of porcelain and furniture and he went expecting to be in and out very fast! We spent most of the morning there. We had an excellent and very knowledgable guide, who certainly knew the collection extremely well and was very interesting on the subject, with little anecdotes etc. Some of the furniture in the collection is quite exquisite and totally unique. It is a museum not to be missed.

As we did not make a reservation in advance, an English speaking guide was not available. However, we were provided with a booklet, written in English, that explained the artifacts in each room. As well, the guide directed us to observe a number of items that were not included in the booklet. We were also fortunate to be present during a special art exhibit in some of the rooms. This museum is included on the Torino card.

A musee located in an 18th century palace with magnificent pieces of cabinetmaking, vaiselles, pieces of art, bequeathed by a collector with one or more interesting exhibitions in the rooms of this magnificent palace.

Buongiorno,
nel museo è consentito scattare fotografie.
Nelle sale della mostra invece non sempre è possibile, dipende dalla disponibilità dei prestatori. Qualora non fosse possibile è ben segnalato nelle sale o è possibile chiedere al personale.
