Museo del Paesaggio
About This Museum
Tucked away in Verbania on the shores of Lake Maggiore, the Museo del Paesaggio is a true gem with a wonderfully specific focus—it's entirely dedicated to the Italian landscape. You won't find just paintings here; its collection is a fascinating mix of art, archaeology, and sculpture that all explore how we perceive and shape our surroundings. The heart of the museum lies in its stunning 19th and 20th-century paintings that capture the dramatic light and beauty of Piedmont and Lombardy. It feels less like a formal institution and more like a thoughtful conversation about place, memory, and nature.
Collection Highlights
The real stars are the Divisionist canvases by artists like Mario Tozzi and Carlo Fornara, whose works shimmer with broken color. Don't miss the extensive collection of sculptures by Paolo Troubetzkoy, whose delicate plaster and bronze figures possess an incredible lightness.
Visitor Information
It's the perfect size for a leisurely afternoon—you can soak everything in without feeling rushed. Afterward, you're just steps from the lakefront for a passeggiata, making it a perfect cultural pitstop.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully restored historic palazzo, the building itself, with its elegant interiors and charming courtyard, feels like part of the collection.
