The museum offers free lockers for storing your stuff and they permit photography though no selfie sticks, tripods or flash. Standard museum stuff. They also have a free wifi that worked quite well. Culptures, paintings, artworks and more. Major focus on Italian works, which is understandable. I specifically enjoyed the works I've uploaded. Emilio Longoni (1859-1932) "Glacier" (1912), Guglielmo Giardi (1842-1917) "Laguna" (1891) and Pablo Picasso (1892-1973) "Tete de Femme" (1957). But there was so much more including sculptures by Rodin and the Parnassus (on the ceiling) and the walls in the Ballroom. Corot, Cezanne, Marquet, Gauguin, Van Gogh. Too many to list. Make the time to visit this museum. Totally worth it and in addition to touring the Duomo, one of the MUST DO in Milan. I only wish that the gift shop in the museum offered some of these prints, but they do not. [Review 10721 overall, 489 of 2019.]

It is worth visiting because of the art in the museum. The museum itself is not functional, the lighting is not designed to present the art at its best (artificial light reflects on the glass so you have to move to a side to enjoy some of the art with glass in the front) and it has a weird flow that requires staff to guide visitors in and out. It is very small, so good size if you want to get in and out, especially if you have young ones with you that may not enjoy museums as much.

Meanwhile, there were women with oversized bags, and I was carrying my backpack at my side with full respect and awareness of my surroundings.

The treatment was rude and illogical, especially toward someone like me who has studied and loves art. I hope management takes action.

What detracts from overall experience is needing separate tickets for each exhibition, at €15 a pop they aren't cheap if you see more than one. But above all, signage for entry is not clear. If you didn't buy tickets in advance (highly recommended to do this), the line at front of the building is only for ONE of the exhibitions, not all of them. There is no main lobby like in a regular museum. So make sure you get in line at the particular entrance of the exhibit you came to see, or you'll waste time in line for nothing. To the unfamiliar visitor you might assume the line in front of the building is for the entire museum (which is generally how entry lines work in a museum). BUT NO, DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE :) Walking up to the entrance area I saw signs for that particular exhibit, which I just assumed was marketing to feature that exhibit. The museum attendants don't specifically mention that this ticket line is for only one of the temp exhibitions either, they only kept asking if everyone in line had yet to purchase a ticket. Basically I wasted time waiting for an hour, then paid for the ticket and ended up only noticing then it only had the Cezanne and Renoir image on the ticket. This wasn't the one I came to see (although I had a mild interest), and unfortunately they don't let you switch tickets once you purchase them. So I had to purchase a separate ticket at the entrance to the Dolce & Gabbana exhibit which HAD NO LINE which I saw afterwards at a different entry. If you buy tickets in advance then do it before the day of your visit, bc the website can be finicky when loading on your phone. I tried to buy tickets while standing in line but when it came to entering the timed security code they texted to my phone, the website kept saying it couldn't send the code, while meanwhile I kept receiving a code but not being able to enter it to complete the transaction. It may be an issue related to using international phone numbers in Italy bc I overheard a couple other people in line having the same issue. The only good thing about buying tickets in person is you save the €2.50 online service charge. Online it's €17.50, in person it's €15pp. Also, there is a free portion of the museum (in Apr 2024 this was for the accessories portion of the D&G exhibit) which no one (I asked 3 different museum attendants) could point me to -_- tho to be fair it could've been a lost in translation situation since I have zero Italian competency. I finally went to the gift shop for one of the other temp exhibits and they mentioned it's actually the same entrance to the main D&G exhibit, you proceed up the stairs but it's on the other side of the ticket counter. It's def confusing bc the timed ticket line for D&G is cordoned at the base of this same stairwell, with a couple attendants manning this line. So unless you knew that there's no one barring you from straight up going upstairs, you might think you have to get in line to go upstairs. Exhibitions: Cezanne and Renoir: they put a lot of attention into construction and descriptions of each painting, and audio guide came included for free in the ticket price, which was informative and took about 30-40 minutes to listen thru in entirety. The number of rooms and artworks was a couple fewer than I would've imagined though overall well curated. Dolce&Gabbana: MIND-BLOWING. I've seen all the major Met fashion exhibitions in NYC and a couple in London, and this one stands out in every way. Talk about over-the-top! So amazing bc all of these garments are shown in fully themed rooms, not behind glass displays. Jaw-dropping to see that level of detail up close. If you're a lover of fashion, fabrics and design or even just curious this is a must-see. I'm sure you could walk thru all the rooms in 30-40 min but I spent 3 hours here just taking it all in.

This opens up to a smallish courtyard area facing the main museum building with a minimalist front facade. To the right are a couple adjacent buildings with separate entrances to temporary exhibits. Walking into the main building there's a museum cafe immediately to the left of the entrance, which looked to be cafeteria style, with seating for about 50. Past this is a spacious lobby with ticket counters and help desk to the right. Tickets are free to the main collection but each special exhibit requires a different ticket. I found this a little confusing as there are 4-5 special exhibits ongoing which compose the majority of what there is to view, so having not done any research prior and not being familiar with these artists and their work, I just stuck with the main collection. There's not much to see here and I was a little put off by the staff bc they insisted I coat check my back pack before entering even the main collection though the museum was pretty empty and I literally saw them allow someone with a slightly smaller back pack in right in front of me. They are also sticklers for going in the order if the exhibit, goodness forbid if you want to back track a few rooms they tell you that's not the right way and that you should be going the other direction. It just didn't make the experience enjoyable.

Raw cement, glass and steel make up this uncomfortable concept, unpleasant to the eye and uncomfortable for the visitor. As you might have noticed, I changed my profile picture to one of Frida's self-portraits because I went to see her exhibition last Saturday. Almost all pictures and photos of this magnificent Artist were there. This made my day. Regretfully, the lack of benches or resting stops made it very uncomfortable for my 5 hernias. By the time I got out, I had to gulp down a couple of painkillers to keep going. Shalom (but not so much to the architects) :))
