We went to the museum on a sunday afternoon, barely any people there, so that we had the place almost to ourselves. Lovely staff, great museum for a history of cycling and bikes, you could really feel the enthusiasm that went into the creation of the museum. Combined with the lovely view and the incredible chapel dedicated to the patron saint of cyclists, it is a must-see for any cycling fan, and I imagine also nice for interested outsiders. Had a good shopping spree at the museum's shop, which I can also highly recommend. 5/5 would go there again, probably taking on the Ghisallo mountain pass on the bike this time (we went with a Vespa as we had not brought our bikes to Italy...)

Not only do I love cycling and its rich history, but I can say that this museum pays homage to it all. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They helped me try on and purchase some clothing even when I was in a particularly indecisive mood! She knew about the exact thicknesses of the pads on each of the shorts. Amazing. They had support of many pro cyclists and have had many donations of jerseys to the collection.

After climbing the epic hill either way to Ghisallo, the museum is a must see. It doesn't look like much from the entrance where the shop is but once you walk down the ramps, the scale of it and the care with which it has been designed and put together is remarkable. You could spend as long here as a Cyclist might sound cycling up and down and up and down again, the big hill. Very special exhibits within.

Un 25 di aprile, con due cari amici, siamo partiti in bici da Varese alla scoperta di questo STRAORDINARIO E SIMBOLICO museo del Ciclismo. Io in tutta onestà NON immaginavo di ritrovarmi a contatto con pezzi UNICI di storia del ciclismo, dalle bici alle maglie ai trofei ai componenti ….semplicemente FANTASTICO!!! L’Associazione "Museo del Ciclismo Madonna del Ghisallo", successivamente trasformata in fondazione, avvió i lavori di costruzione del Museo il 24 ottobre 1999, con la posa della prima pietra proveniente dalla Cava di Candoglia (Val d'Ossola), la stessa del marmo del Duomo di Milano, che ha diritto esclusivo d'uso sulla Cava. L'ultima pietra, posata il 31 maggio 2006 e sulla quale è incisa la frase "Omnia Vincit Amor", è stata estratta dalla Cava di Azzano, la stessa che fornì a Michelangelo Buonarroti il marmo per la costruzione della Basilica di San Pietro. Riconosciuto come Museo della Lombardia, il Museo del Ciclismo deve la sua realizzazione alla task force creata da Fiorenzo Magni insieme a Regione Lombardia. CONSIGLIO A TUTTI GLI AMANTI DI QUESTO SPORT DI FAR VISITA A QUESTO LUOGO.

Excellent stop for all cycling fans, great views and collection, strong on the nostalgia factor, very nice people. An ideal destination for a rainy day when biking up to the Ghisallo is not a great idea. But if you do bike here, racks are available by the front door, they'll watch your bike and even loan you a lock. Highly recommended.

Showcase the history of cycling with a broader collection of memorabilia, including more historical bikes, trophies, and other artifacts. Super impressive. The Tour de France section is also impressive but display in a really bad way. It’s a bit unfortunate.
