Pinacoteca Ambrosiana

I admired the library most of all, its very nice to see the books which Leonardo Da Vinci opened. Also it’s a very good feeling to walk by the same room . The building itself is beautiful My advice is to buy the tickets on official site , do you don’t have to wait in the queue

The Pinacoteca Ambrosiana was a great visit. This museum has a very large collection of paintings and various work of art devied in multiple galleries. The Library alone is worth the visit! You'll have a great insight into Leonardo Da Vinci life's work with a great collection of original documents.

This ticket was bought as part of the Duomo package, I am so pleased I chose this rather than the basic option. Overall the museum is very impressive and well laid out. It was founded in 1607 and consists of 24 rooms, where you can see some of the greatest masterpieces of all time, such as the Portrait of a Musician by Leonardo da Vinci, The Basket of Fruit by Caravaggio, the cartoon for the School of Athens by Raphael, the Adoration of the Magi by Titian, the Madonna of the Pavilion by Sandro Botticelli and the magnificent Vases of Flowers by Jan Brueghel. It also has numerous paintings from famous artist from 17th to 20th century. In other rooms you can see a series curiosities, like the gloves that Napoleon wore at Waterloo, the armillary spheres from the Settala Collection, or the showcase containing a lock of Lucrezia Borgia’s hair. At the end of the tour you can see the largest collection of sketches by Leonardo da Vinci as this is where the Codex Atlanticus is located.

Impressive gallery. There is a special room dedicated to Raphael’s School of Athens, where you can see the whole history of the cartoon and learn more about the picture itself. It’s not busy and it’s close to Duomo. Amazing experience, one of the best museums in Milan!

Very impressive, breathtaking building interiors and major art pieces. I highly recommend for any hour along cultural retreat in the heart of Milano away from the noise and hectic crowds

Notoriously known for holding numerous da Vinci’s codices, some of which are on display, it also offers a generous number of work of arts from famous painters like Tizian, Brueghel, Botticelli. Unfortunately Caravaggio’s art was on loan when we visited. There is a nice clip of Raphael’s School of Athens debunking the logic and the composition of the fresco which is on the Vatican walls. We enjoyed the ambiance and the chic atmosphere. Got the ticket as part of a bundle with Duomo and it’s worth it.

Do not miss this! Fantastic works of art which you can see up close. The Icing on the cake is of course Leonardo's sketches. An afternoon very well spent.

Very nice library, with several folios of Da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus. There's an interactive kiosk to explore the +1.000 folios using multiple criteria. Very friendly and easy to use, by time span and topic. There's also a real version of Da Vinci's beautiful astronomical "tower clock". Don't miss it!
