The Ducal Palace of Genoa is one of the symbolic historical sites of the Ligurian city: the residence of the Doge since 1339, it is now the main center of cultural production in Genoa.

The Ducal Palace, thanks to the Ducal Palace Foundation that manages it, organizes art exhibitions, conferences, series of meetings, festivals, reviews, concerts, and activities throughout the year. The Ducal Palace is a real cultural reference point for Genoa and for all of Northern Italy.

Between 1980 and 1992, extensive renovation works were carried out, and today, thanks to its exhibition and conference spaces, The Ducal Palace is also a multifunctional center that offers spaces for exhibitions and conferences.

The collection inside the museum includes more than 18,000 pieces including architectural and graphic drawings, books from the library, paintings (by artists such as Martelli, Prampolini, Sironi, Cominietti), sculptures, furniture, complete furnishings, glass, ceramics, wrought iron, and silverware.
