Palazzo Coronini Cronberg in Gorizia is a historic residence dating to the late 16th century. Today it is the headquarters of the Foundation of the same name.
15 rooms make up the museum itinerary, including the room where the last king of France, Charles X, died, offering a journey through time thanks to the warm and evocative atmosphere of the ground floor rooms with their 16th and 17th century furnishings, the sumptuous 18th century lounges, the Empire rooms and the 19th century rooms on the main floor.
Ornaments, silver, porcelain, crystal, photographs, portraits and everyday objects recreate the atmosphere of a real home, the presence of the ancient owners perceptible in every room. Amidst the family memories and heirlooms are works of art of extraordinary value: paintings attributed to Bernardo Strozzi and Rubens, canvases by Alessandro Magnasco, Giambattista Langetti, Giuseppe Tominz, Vladimir L. Borovikovsky, sculptures by Bertel Thorvaldsen, Giuseppe Ceracchi and Franz Xaver Messerschmidt.
The building is surrounded by a splendid five-hectare English-style park which houses important archaeological finds from Aquileia, an elegant Liberty style temple, and rare and precious plants: ash trees, lime trees, Himalayan cedars, exotic plants such as palms, Japanese medlars, bamboo and a century-old cork oak.
