The Accorsi–Ometto Museum in Turin is one of Italy’s finest institutions dedicated to decorative arts, created from the extraordinary collection of antiques expert Pietro Accorsi and later expanded by Giulio Ometto. Housed in an elegant eighteenth‑century palace on Via Po, the museum recreates refined period interiors that showcase furniture, porcelain, glassware, clocks, tapestries and objets d’art from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. Each room evokes the atmosphere of a historic residence, allowing visitors to experience the craftsmanship and aesthetic ideals that shaped European taste. Among its highlights is the celebrated Stipo del Cardinale, a masterpiece of cabinet‑making often described as one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture in the world. With its immersive settings and scholarly attention to detail, the Accorsi–Ometto Museum offers a captivating journey into the art of living and collecting, making it a cultural gem in the heart of Turin.
Turin Italy
Accorsi - Ometto Museum is located at Via Po 55 in Turin's elegant Centro Storico district, Italy, housed in a late 17th-century palazzo designed by Savoy architect Amedeo di Castellamonte. This decorative arts museum occupies what was once a convent of Sant'Antonio Abate, positioned at the eastern end of the pedestrian-friendly Via Po boulevard. Nearby landmarks include Piazza Vittorio Veneto—Europe's largest porticoed square—just across the Po River bridge with its scenic river views, the Gran Madre di Dio church atop the hill, and a short walk west along Via Po to Palazzo Madama, Royal Palace, and Piazza Castello in the Savoy heart, plus cafes and boutiques in the vibrant shopping corridor near Porta Nuova station.
