About
Palazzo Bianco, also known as the White Palace, is a historic palace museum at Via Garibaldi 11 in Genoa, Liguria. It sits along the city's celebrated Via Garibaldi, among the grand palazzi that give this part of Genoa its character.
What to see
The museum displays an important collection of European paintings from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Visitors move through the rooms of the palace itself, so the setting is part of the experience as much as the works on the walls.
Why it makes a worthwhile visit
- A focused look at European painting across roughly two centuries
- A historic palace building, which gives the visit a sense of place
- Part of the UNESCO World Heritage Via del Campo museum complex, so it pairs naturally with the other sites in that network
Around the museum
Palazzo Bianco stands in the heart of old Genoa, where the palace streets, historic architecture and the city's harbour-side character are close at hand. Planning a half-day here leaves time to wander the surrounding streets on foot.
