Where would works of Renaissance masters like Titian or Caravaggio (I know you could also call Caravaggio Baroque, but that's not relevant here) have been publicly displayed in the 1850s?

They had museums back then, but, in England at least, you could also go tour private homes when the family was away and private collections often had works by great masters.

Lots of churches had paintings and sculptures.
