Pinacoteca di Brera

Art masterpiece. The Pinacoteca is a must-see for people who enjoy the sense of beauty, in its nuances. Either from Napoleon or Renaissance evidences to modern testimony from Giorgio Armani gifts to italian fashion, the museum is packed but well organized. Having a guided tour is strongly suggested to be fully immersed in the explanations and little details of such a treasure of history. Better to book tickets in advance!

The Pinacoteca di Brera is one of Milan’s true cultural treasures, a magnificent gallery filled with some of Italy’s most iconic masterpieces. The collection is extraordinary, with works by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Mantegna beautifully displayed in elegant, spacious rooms that let you really take in each painting. During our visit, there was an incredible temporary exhibition by Giorgio Armani, and it was absolutely fascinating. Seeing these stunning dresses and impeccably tailored suits displayed alongside centuries-old masterpieces created such an impressive juxtaposition, fashion and fine art in a dialogue that felt perfectly Milanese. It was inspiring to see how elegance and creativity transcend time and medium. The museum itself is a delight to explore, with a calm atmosphere and thoughtful curation. Whether you’re an art lover or simply looking for a refined experience in Milan, the Pinacoteca di Brera is not to be missed. It’s a place where history, style, and artistry meet beautifully.

Really lovely place, I've enjoyed it. They're currently also featuring a collection of pieces of Giorgio Armani. I recommend ordering tickets online. The museum only lets you in according to the time assigned on your ticket. When you get there, there are two ticket machines - if you choose to try those, they can make it seem like there are tickets available, but then show you a connection error. If that happens - pick the next time slot. Also, we ordered online, got a mail which we thought was a confirmation email, looked like a confirmation email - but told us our payment failed. So, check the email closely, if you're ordering online. We ended up waiting in the cafe upstairs for an hour - not too bad. Staff was very nice. There's also an elevator in the back. And bring a euro coin for the lockers - you'll have to put you stuff away. Good art, if you're with kids, you can play a game with them of finding all the dogs in the pictures - very fun.

The library right at the entrance was very beautiful. The gallery is full of Jesus paintings which are all quite similar. If you are into that it will be interesting, but otherwise there are better galleries in Milan. At the time we went there was an exhibition of Armani suits which were exquisite so that made it worth the visit. The price for youth is very affordable, 2e.

Small museum, elite curation. Book ahead. get the flow from the info desk, then casually stroll past a ridiculous number of masterpieces both paintings, sculptures or even fashion(Armani by the time I visited). Amazing, highly recommended

The place is absolutely fantastic - room after room packed with incredible artworks, and even the courtyard sets the tone before you’ve seen anything. You are left amazed every step of your visit!! The only thing I’d reccomend is to buy tickets in advance. I watched people show up in the morning, walk to the machine, and find everything sold out. Beyond that, it’s an absolute must-visit.

It was a great experience, the paintings and sculptures are gorgeous. If you’d under 25 it’s only 2€ to go inside. We enjoyed it a lot!

So much art to see mainly paintings and some fashion and sculptures. For people into arts it's a dream come true I personally gave it 4 stars because I'm not into it that much but I can see the beauty in it.
