The museum is governed by the Board of Directors of the COE Foundation and the Artistic Committee. The Board of Directors, serving as the primary administrative body, is responsible for regular and special administration, institution management, and overseeing maintenance through an endowment fund supported by public and private contributions. The Board of Directors holds various powers, including approving the museum's direction, financial planning, budget adjustments, staff organizational structure, and has authority over rules, staff regulations, service fees, and donations. The Artistic Committee, consisting of seven members, including the Director, Conservator, and a Municipality of Saronno representative, supports the Board by providing technical-scientific management proposals, suggesting conservation and promotion strategies, proposing publications, and, if necessary, involving a scientific committee for specific activities.
The Director of a museum is required to possess specific training in the field. Their role involves overseeing the administrative and organizational aspects of the museum in accordance with the resolutions set forth by the Board of Directors. The museum director is tasked with implementing museum policies and overseeing the comprehensive management of the institution. This entails preserving, promoting, and cultivating public appreciation for the cultural heritage housed within the institution. Moreover, the Director takes on complete responsibility for formulating and implementing the cultural and scientific initiatives of the museum. This involves overseeing diverse aspects, such as overall administration, conservation efforts, promotional activities, and the cultivation of public engagement with the cultural heritage. Additionally, it encompasses associated scientific research endeavors. The Director functions as the guardian of the museum's identity and purpose, acting as the custodian of its collections and being accountable to the owner and/or custodian. Furthermore, the Director actively engages with the administration, citizens, and regulatory bodies, ensuring the protection and oversight of the museum's activities.
The museum curator, responsible for overseeing the collection, is a highly specialized professional entrusted with preserving and managing collections. Their diverse tasks encompass inventorying, cataloguing, maintenance planning, conservation, restoration, research, and enhancing the collection. Working within museum guidelines, the curator collaborates with the director, ensuring the museum's identity and purpose, defining objectives, and serving as the scientific authority for entrusted collections. Duties include preservation, inventory management, proposing collection expansion, coordinating maintenance and restoration, directing technical staff, conducting scientific research, contributing to cultural and educational initiatives, designing exhibitions, and fostering connections with similar institutions. The curator remains current in their field, engages with institutional bodies, and, in the director's absence, assumes the role of custodian accountable to the owner or consignee.
The museum staff includes the Head of Education Services, a role that might be filled by a Conservative member, the Technical Safety Officer, and the Custodian, which could also be undertaken by the Technical Safety Officer. Additionally, the museum engages volunteers.
The room contains a collection of Chinese Qing and Japanese Edo artifacts, focusing on small sculptures. Despite the limited quantity, the collection includes a diverse array of works, ranging from Celadon to Blanc de Chine.

The temporary collection was officially launched on November 25, 2023, and will remain on display at the Museum until December 21, 2023.
The project, inspired by Lucia Cuozzo's Amalfi legend, comprises 18 artists creating 18 illustrated plates using diverse techniques. Salerno-based ceramist and visual designer Gianluca Tesauro contributes brown-decorated ceramics that, when combined, depict imaginative creatures merging donkeys and fish. The initiative also includes a limited edition hand-sewn book featuring the artists' graphic works. The Legend is adapted for different Italian locations; initially translated into the Varese dialect by Angelo Zilio for the Lombard exhibition, later illustrated by four local artists. Originating in Vietri sul Mare, the exhibition has been showcased in Savona during the Maiolica Festival and is slated to visit Veneto next year. The individuals who contributed to the creation of the artworks include Alex Raso, Alfredo Guarracino Alboy, Daniela Giorgina Scalese, David&Golia, Elisa d’Arienzo, Fabio Taramasco, Francesco Carbone, Gabriele MrCorto Resmini, Gianluca Tesauro, Harsha Biswajit, Jorge Manes Rubio, Lucia Carpentieri, Manincuore, Massimiliano De Simone Satoboy, Nicola Bergamaschi, Piera Mautone, Pierfrancesco Solimene, Valentina Biletta, and Yuluk.
