[2] The collection is located in a historical building in the Via Po, designed by the Savoy's court architect, Amedeo of Castellamonte and dates back to the late 17th century (1684).

When Pietro Accorsi's father became custodian of the palace, in 1901, the family moved into a relatively small flat that looked onto the courtyard.

[3] The route through the museum leads through 27 rooms, divided into two sections: the first presents the exhibition of pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries, in particular Baccarat crystals, silverware, and Meissen porcelain.

The second section presents furniture reconstructing the ambiance of a refined home of the 18th century, in accordance with the antique dealer's taste.

The style represented here, according to historical records, was fashionable for about fifty years in Turin's leading homes.
