The Andrea and Blanceflor Boncompagni Ludovisi Museum (also, more simply, the Boncompagni Ludovisi Museum), is a museum dedicated to the decorative arts, costume and Italian fashion.
The Museum is housed in the Boncompagni Ludovisi Villino (in a side street of Via Vittorio Veneto) in Rome.
Already entrusted to the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, in December 2014 it became part of the 43 museums of the Lazio museum complex. Admission is free.
Former residence of the Boncompagni Ludovisi family, in 1972, with a testamentary disposition, the Eclectic style building, which dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century, was donated by Princess Blanceflor de Bildt Boncompagni to the Italian State, so that it could maintain and use it "exclusively for artistic-cultural purposes of public utility ".
The museum was opened to the public in 1995. It is now managed by the Polo Museale del Lazio.
