On the second floor of the majestic building built in 1875 on a design by Giovanni Berlam, commissioned by the brothers Carlo Marco and Giacomo Morpurgo and their spouses, there is the apartment (about 600 square metres) that Mario Morpurgo de Nilma donated to the Municipality of Trieste to become a museum.
The demanding pace of society life is evinced by the large number of drawing rooms. Although each has a different style and colour, there is coherence in the inlaid wood floors, the ceilings, the stucco mouldings, the French lace curtains and the lines of the furniture.
A unique, intact example of the lifestyle of Trieste's new entrepreneurial class.
