This fine museum is also housed within a former palace and is also located on the Piazza Medaglie where the Archaeological Museum is situated.
The historical museum of Giuseppe Garibaldi has a series of lavishly decorated rooms that have been restored to show traditional living from various eras in Italy.
Furthermore the museum contains a plethora of artefacts such as furniture, lace and clothing from Como and the surrounding region.
This collection and restored rooms are simply fantastic and together with the Archaeological Museum paint a fine picture of Como.
