In 1894 the building was leased by the Municipality of Como who bought it later in 1913.
The museum was opened in 1897 and the collection consisted of very heterogeneous materials, to which they gave a better arrangement over the years with the acquisition of new spaces, starting with the establishment in 1932 until the opening of the Historical Museum Municipal Art Gallery in 1989 and the last restoration and redevelopment.
