The part of Palazzo Pfanner that is currently open to the public includes the large central hall where there is a permanent exhibition of surgical instruments and antique medical texts belonging to Pietro Pfanner (1864-1935), and numerous other rooms containing antique furniture and furnishings as well as sacred objects. With its grassy lawns, ornamental blossoms, tall shrubs and lemon-trees in large earthenware pots interspersed among the monumental rows of eighteenth-century statues depicting the Olympian gods and the Four Seasons, the garden of Palazzo Pfanner, attributed to the genius of Filippo Juvarra, represents a valuable example of a baroque garden set in the heart of the mediaeval town of Lucca.
