This museum hosts collections of sculptures and artworks of the late-ancient, medieval, renaissance periods. There are over 2000 pieces on display, in rooms with frescoes dating from the Sforza (1450-1535) and Spanish periods (1559-1707).
There are several masterpieces on display, such as:
- The Ducal Chapel
- Several memorials, the most beautiful (according to me) the Gaston de Foix memorial,
the Equestrian monument of Bernabò Visconti, the Sepulchral monument of Regina della Scala,
- Several tapestries, and the huge 16th century Banner of the City of Milano,
- a huge collection of Lombard Romanesque art,
- the armory, with various armors and a selection of white and firearms from the late Middle Ages to the 18th century
