The collection of Baroque polychrome and gilt sculptures; the paintings and miniatures collections are among the most comprehensive in the country. The glass collection encompasses a very high number of objects from antiquity through Renaissance to contemporary art, thus representing the style and technological development of both European and local production.

Photographs collection has extremely rich holdings, parts of which date back to the period before WWI. The Museum has recently established collections encompassing the following: Architectural items, clocks and watches, graphic & product design.
