What makes this place special
Radical transformation
The 15th-century Palazzo Pesaro degli Orfei, once in decay, was transformed into an art haven by Mariano Fortuny and his wife Henriette.
A versatile artist
His creative pursuits included fabrics, clothing, photography, painting and lighting design, all showcased in the museum as if the work were still in progress.
The inviting ambiance
You'll quickly forget it's a museum as it feels more like a personal invitation. The house remains cozy and infused with the master's presence, making you feel as though the artist could step into the room at any moment.
An emotional experience
This is one of those rare museums designed to stir emotions as much as it educates. An evocative space where diverse art forms speak directly to the senses.
