The Museo Fortuny, reopened as a permanent exhibition venue. Two years after the ‘Acqua Granda’ flooding seriously damaged the Palazzo Pesaro degli Orfei, Mariano Fortuny’s house museum is set to reopen its doors to the public, following essential conservation work on the ground floor, and the refurbishment of the upper floors. These modifications set in train a historically grounded reorganization of the museum spaces, with the restoration of the rooms devoted to the memory of the brilliant and highly talented Mariano Fortuny.
The two museums will extend the opening until 22.00, from 18.00 admission will be at the symbolic price of 1 euro, last entrance to the museums is at 21.30
