Un museo unico

The Chess Museum consists of a spacious entrance, which houses the vertical chessboards and the large Arman-Boisgontier chessboard, and three rooms featuring around 150 sets and paintings: Europe, America-Africa, and Asia.

In the Europe Room, alongside sets from various countries, there are also the large chessboards by Enrico Baj and Francesco Garbelli. In the America-Africa Room, a space is dedicated to the great artist and chess player Marcel Duchamp. In the Asia Room, a section illustrates chess played by soldiers at war and by prisoners in concentration camps.

The exhibition has been designed with special attention to accessibility for people with disabilities.
