On the first floor of Palazzo Costa (17th century) in some monumental rooms owned by the Horak Foundation, a non-profit entity, the 18th Century Environmental Museum is set up. The artworks are placed here in a space that appears to be lived in daily, according to the typical standards of this type of museum, still little known in Italy, unlike what happens in England and France. The museum path unfolds through three rooms: the Coat of Arms Room, the Stucco Room, and the Blue Empire Room, where important paintings and interesting period furnishings that complement the rooms themselves are visible; also of great interest is the decorative scheme of the environments.
