We are in the welcome area, where we can also find the bookshop and a meeting hall.

The entrance of Ettore’s Museum opens the doors to our visit.

Through the Grand Stairway, we go up to the floor of the museum and its rooms.

We are on the Grand Stairway, on our left we have the Playroom, while on the right the Main Hall.

The Main Hall is where the Guatelli Museum blossoms to its fullest potential.

The Shoe room does not only contain shoes, but also memories of street artists, such as bear and monkey tamers.

The Kitchen of Wonders, a room dedicated entirely to kitchenware.

The entrance of Casa Ettore Guatelli Museum, where the Guatelli family lived and where Ettore set up his collection, following his dream of becoming an all-encompassing collector.

Ettore’s Bedroom. The bed, the small desk with an Olivetti typewriter, files and his own creations.

The Music Room, where documents are stored.

On the left we climb up to the China Walkway, on the right we enter inside the Box Room.

The China Walkway leads us into the Clock Room.

Inside the Clock Room.
