The Bolognini Castle houses three interesting museums: the Morando Bolognini Museum with 24 rooms richly furnished in the style of a house-museum, the Lombardy Museum of the History of Agriculture, which tells the story of agriculture from its beginnings to the 20th century, and the Bread Museum, which tells the story of this important foodstuff.

Morando Bolognini Museum: Built in the first decades of the 20th century, the Museum opens to the public 24 rooms richly furnished in the style of a House-Museum, offering visitors the chance to relive ancient and evocative atmospheres. Visitors can admire furniture, paintings and crockery from the period between the 18th and 20th centuries, as well as wrought-iron handicrafts Of particular interest is the Library, which houses around 2,000 volumes and a very interesting Armoury, consisting of around 500 pieces from various eras and origins. Also noteworthy are the Throne Room, the Hall of the Ancestors, the Chapel and the Hall of Mirrors.
Museo Lombardo di Storia dell'Agricoltura (Lombardy Museum of Agricultural History): It tells the story of agriculture from the earliest times (Neolithic), through the Roman, medieval, Renaissance and modern ages, to the 20th century and the Green Revolution. A large section is dedicated to traditional Lodi agriculture, with reconstructions of workshops: carpenter-carver, blacksmith- farrier, saddle-maker, as well as two rooms for agricultural workers (kitchen and bedroom). A model with an electronic game dedicated to the rational management of livestock waste is now on display in the museum.
Bread Museum: It is set up in four rooms: in the first room cereals, the raw material for the world's different breads, are presented; in the second room the various phases of the 'Wheat-Flour-Bread' cycle are illustrated, with a mainly didactic approach, while the third room houses more than 500 loaves of bread (real loaves) from the Italian regions and many European and non-European countries. In the fourth room, bread-making equipment can be seen.
