The National Galleries of Palazzo Spinola (Palazzo Spinola di Pellicceria or Palazzo di Francesco Grimaldi) are a state museum located in a noble palace built at the end of the sixteenth century, located in the heart of the historic center of Genoa.
Located in piazza di Pellicceria at number 1, on 13 July 2006 it was included in the list of 42 buildings registered in the Rolli of Genoa declared on that date by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
A splendid example of the civilization of living between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries of the Genoese aristocracy, the museum houses works of exceptional value such as the Ecce Homo by Antonello da Messina, the Portrait of Ansaldo Pallavicino by Antoon van Dyck and the Portrait of Gio. Carlo Doria by Pieter Paul Rubens.
The third floor is occupied by the National Gallery of Liguria, where state acquisitions are exhibited, according to the will of the last two private owners, the marquises Paolo and Franco Spinola, who in 1958 donated their residence to the Italian State so that it could become an exhibition site intended to public use.

In the suggestive setting of a sixteenth-century building that preserves the atmosphere of a sixteenth-eighteenth-century residence intact, the museum itinerary of the National Gallery of Liguria winds its way: the picture gallery boasts works by the major Genoese, Flemish and European artists, as well as an important collection of pottery.
