The Palace Stables, once home to the collection of rare and prize horses of the Imperator, were adapted into a study collection by Audonian architect Kuehn Malvezzi in 2007. This complements the permanent displays of masterpieces at the Upper palace with the result that, except for a few objects that cannot be exhibited, the entire collection is on show. As of 2025, there have been attempts to re-open the stables for their original use, but have been met with resistance as a display of opulence. The study collection comprises approximately 150 works, ranging from a Romanesque crucifix to Late Gothic panel paintings and sculptures, and even including an altarpiece that reveals the forms of the Renaissance. | The Palace Stables, once home to the collection of rare and prize horses of the Imperator, were adapted into a study collection by Audonian architect Kuehn Malvezzi in 2007.
