"Ala Ponzone" City Museum

The main part of the "Ala Ponzone" City Museum was created thanks to a donation by the marquis Ala Ponzone (1842) and has been enriched with works from former churches and successive legacies. Since 1928 it has been based in Palazzo Affaitati, an example of 16th century Cremonese architecture. The picture gallery is currently being prepared, with works by mainly Cremona artists from the 15th to the 20th centuries but there are also works by famous painters such as Caravaggio and Arcimboldi. There are also oriental pottery, enamel and ivory objects. Special areas have been created for the most important cultural events of the town.
