Camera da letto del Principe di Piemonte, la sala ha la volta affrescata da Giovanni Battista Van Loo nel 1719. Il pittore francese era stato richiamato appositamente da Roma da Filippo Juvarra per affrescare Apollo attorniato dal Tempo, l'Abbondanza e Flora. Ai quattro lati le stagioni. Il fregio in stucco di Pietro Filippo Somasso, datato 1717, presenta gli attributi delle divinità dell'Olimpo: Zeus, Nettuno, Mercurio e Vulcano, oltre che alcuni particolari degli abiti delle stagioni. Come opera contemporanea troviamo "Coat of arms (stemma araldico)" di Haim Steinbach che è una tra le prime opere in cui l'artista utilizza un contenitore insieme all'elemento emblematico delle mensola. All'interno della struttura, che ricorda un armadio, sono disposti abiti da uomo realizzati da noti stilisti, affiancati da quattro abiti-scultura scolpiti in legno da un artigiano veneziano. La mensola accoglie una scultura bronzea francese del XIX secolo, che rappresenta un uomo intento a spaccare un pezzo di legno. Su di essa sono anche posate quattro tube in ottone. L'archetipo, la metonimia e la serialità sono tra i motivi che Steinbach analizza in quest'opera, insieme alle convenzioni formali che dettano i comportamenti sociali.

Now, that's quite a ceiling to above your wardrobe - with French Horns too - wonderfully weird for a wet Tuesday morning!
