    This museum is really well done! They do a great job at pacing groups to keep the humidity at levels that won't further ruin The Last Supper. The history is fascinating. It's very hard to get tickets, but we booked a tour that included them that was worth it. I never realized how big it truly is. Or about the bombing and restoration. Definitely check this out if in Milan!

    So worth it to see "The Last Supper" in Milan - amazing experience being there. Buy your tickets in advance and show the entry person your QR code to enter. Do not be late! The tour guide will give you self-guided listening devices.

    Path of ticket acquisition and chapel viewing

    Tickets for a viewing book up months in advance, so take care to sign up early. When I finalized my trip they were completely booked thru for 3 months though luckily I managed to find out out about the free tickets available the first Sunday of each month, available only at 12 noon Italy time the Wednesday prior. This meaning waking up at 5:45am NYC time with a reliable and fast internet connection because those babies go fast. Expect some website freezing situations too since as you can imagine the traffic is high for the first 10 minutes when everyone's trying to book. Interestingly enough it looked like they held and released some additional tickets for the following week momentarily as the Sunday tickets were booked up, I guess allowing those people still interested and around to have a chance to book too. Found the staff to be reasonable and professional when I arrived. People start lining up about 30 min in advance of their time slot and the staff checks both your ticket and time. Then you enter the ticket office where they print out a paper ticket for you to show to the entrance staff next door. They are only allowed to admit a certain number of people each viewing so don't be late bc they can't guarantee admittance after around 15 minutes past your time slot. And if you don't have a reserved ticket you'll be turned away.

    Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper painting

    Even if you aren't an art buff and even if you aren't religious, seeing the Last Supper in person is quite an experience. The Last Supper is a popular art piece painted by Leonardo Da Vinci that depicts the last dinner that Jesus had with his apostles in Jerusalem before he was crucified. The mural was painted in Fresco style; a technique that includes applying pigment onto plaster that was heavily used during the Italian Renaissance. The painting itself is remarkable. The fact that they've been able to preserve this painting for so many years is amazing. It's so interesting to see Da Vinci's depiction of each disciple on the painting. I myself am not very religious, but I wonder how uncomfortable it would have been to be in a room having dinner with Jesus right after he mentioned that someone in the very same room would betray him. Because this painting is ancient and because of its' Fresco style composure, visitors are only allowed to see this masterpiece for 15 minutes. You cannot walk-in to see this painting. Viewings are made by reservation only and can sometimes take months in advance to book. There are no bags or flash photography allowed. You'll have to place large items in a locker during your visit. I came with a small group and tour guide which was helpful because she gave some great insight and back story on the painting. It's low lit inside and there are places to sit. Many people will flock to the front of the painting, so have patience when you're inside. The groups are limited to a certain size, so luckily it'll never be overcrowded. I know that this painting is what people come here for, but don't disregard the other painting on the back wall. It too is equally charming and mustn't be missed.

    What more needs to be said. It's the last supper. Amazing that it survived WWII as the church was bombed heavily. Good on the people of the time to sand bag the painting. Last restoration took 20 years and was the work of one woman. Very difficult to get tickets on the day of. Best to book with one of the travel apps. Recommend going first thing in the morning.

    This beloved painting is well worth a visit and because it's so awesome, tickets to see it sell out months in advance. That said, obviously book as far in advance as possible. This painting on a straight up wall has a very interesting history and I enjoyed seeing old photos of it covered fully by sandbags to protect it from the elements during the war. No, you cannot go to the ticket office to see if you can get lucky for cancellations or something. Unfortunately, it does not work that way. Even if someone does not show up, they don't allow another person to take their place. I saw multiple people get turned away trying their luck.

    The Last Supper was a "must see" while in Milan. I purchased walking tour tickets of Milan in order to see this place as all tickets to the Last Supper viewing alone were sold out. The two tickets were booked through New Age and cost 122 Euros on short notice. Large bags must be placed into lockers inside the ticket office. The painting occupied an entire wall and was partially faded from sun exposure shining through the window. I'm not a huge art fan but it was very cool to see one of Leonardo DaVinci's works in person. The time inside is limited and no flash photography is permitted.

The layout is interesting with a linear entryway that gets broken up by stairs on one side that leads you up to the free exhibits. There were furniture designs and modern art pieces displayed here. The most interesting parts during my visit were the "free" playground pieces outside by Naoto Fukasawa. My friends kid loved playing on these and nice to see such humble objects displayed right outside the museum. Upstairs they had a special section dedicated to Emeco, an American furniture maker, which was interesting to find in Italy. They are most known for the all aluminum "naval chair" in continuous production since 1940s. It's pure utilitarian and interesting to see it respected as museum-worthy.

    The main (paid) exhibition of the Triennale tells the story of modern design (pre-dominantely…read moreItalian). They have many interesting and famous pieces of furniture. What is fun and unique about this exhibit is that you can try almost all the chairs! Some are more comfortable than others and they aren't always the ones that you expect. They offer a special program/game for kids who are going through the exhibit to help make it more entertaining. They also almost always have an exhibition or two that is free for you to explore as well. In addition to the bookstore, there is a design library downstairs and a section for workshops/study near the entrance. I've enjoyed the cafe here more than once and although I've not attended, they also offer an apertivo in the evening. Once you are done, it's great to stroll through Parco Sempione.

Seriously, there are 1800s naval ships, a space ship, a playstion, a basement dedicated to steel making, a wing on cultivating food, a piece of the moon, a jet fighter, a room dedicated to the entire Italian gas transmission pipeline network, a floor for da Vinci tech, a particle physics wing, a population growth wing, a global warming wing, an aluminum production wing, the telephone and telegraph, etc etc many more etc. The must have forgotten to add cars because it's the only tech missed. I think it's fair to say there is too much covered in this museum because every room/wing/floor is something TOTALLY different than the last one. I appreciate the thoroughness, but you can't focus attention on 19,000 different pieces that don't relate and expect guests to constantly shift focus. They need to at least try to transition exhibit sections and not throw you into a brand new education. You could spend a entire day here, or weeks reading and watching and playing everything. There are a couple of fun art installation pieces but it's otherwise just too much varying info. At least you get to see a ton for the price. Exhibits are in English and Italian.

    Admission comes with the Duomo ticket and it's located in the Palazzo Reale complex directly to the…read moresouth of the Duomo (to the right, if you're in front of, and facing the Duomo) as many have mentioned. When you're facing the front of the Palazzo Reale, there is a main archway in the center, and the duomo museum entrance is within that archway, on the left side. (One of the entrances to the Palazzo Reale exhibitions is on the right side). There is also a cafe directly to the right of the duomo museum entrance. You can purchase a separate ticket here if you didn't purchase a duomo ticket too, though I agree with some other reviews in that it might not be worth your 45min-1hr if you have only limited time in Milan. There are a lot of relicts on display from mosaics and church objects to tapestries, antique books, carvings and sculptures. Many of these have detailed explanations for individual objects in Italian, with a fair amount in English too, though some might feel a need more background. It's possible to get a multimedia guide via their app (€3.49 downloadable on google play or App Store) that takes you thru the museum. The walking trajectory within the museum is rather winding, they loop you around using lots of arrows and "exhibit continues this way" signs, I guess they make the most of the space. I appreciated the miniature wooden models of the Duomo were impressive in the level of detail. Also insightful to see some of the stone sculptures that were part of the outer facade--each work can be considered a masterpiece in itself. On a Sunday afternoon in April it wasn't too crowded, though certain rooms more than others especially with tour groups, and barely a line to enter. (Contrasted with a 1 hour wait at the Impressionist exhibit at the Palazzo Reale). There were bathrooms inside but small so there was a line for those.
