Works have been donated by Milanese families including the Treves, Ponti, Grassi and Vismara. After the Second World War the twentieth-century works in the collection were moved to the Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, built in 1955 on the site of the former stables of the palace, which had been destroyed by wartime bombing. In 2011, some works were moved to the Museo del Novecento. The museum holds some temporary exhibitions; in 2008 works by Tino Sehgal were presented.
