Museo Lombardi

Museo Lombardi

The Museo Lombardi is an art museum it the city of Parma, Emilia-Romagna (Italy).

The Museum was created by the efforts of Glauco Lombardi, who devoted his entire life to the recovery, study and conservation of all that remained on the antique market or in private collections of the enormous artistic and documentary heritage of Parma under the Bourbons (1748-1802, 1847-1859) and Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma (1816-1847), largely scattered, during the period of Italian Unification, among the many residences of the Savoy family.

From 1915 to 1943 the original nucleus of the Lombardi Museum was housed in the ballroom and adjacent rooms of the Palazzo Ducale in Colorno; 1934 is a crucial year for the museum: it was the year that Lombardi finally managed to stipulate an agreement with count Giovanni Sanvitale, to sell the Museum the precious objects that had belonged to Duchess Maria Luigia, grandmother of count Giovanni.

The Second World War, the difficult post-war years and the extenuating bureaucratic difficulties went on until 1961 when the museum was reopened in new premises, this time at Palazzo di Riserva in Parma, with the name of Museo Glauco Lombardi.

From 1997 to 1999 the museum underwent a complete, very difficult restoration, which became necessary after the acquisition of new buildings that, while changing little of the original order and criteria of display planned and desired by Glauco Lombardi, made it possible to provide the museum structure with more modern and effective systems of security and utilization.
