Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus admission in Milan

Itinerary

Admission included

Make your way to the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan, just five minutes away from the famous Piazza Duomo.  With your entry ticket in hand, you'll step straight inside the museum to enter the exhibit of the Codex Atlanticus: Leonardo da Vinci’s personal collection of drawings and notes.  Offering insight into the creative mind of the Renaissance artist and inventor, the exhibit showcases select pages from the collection, and these are rotated regularly. If you want to see the rest — the Codex Atlanticus has more than 1,000 pages — head to the museum’s library. Your admission ticket grants access to all the main areas of the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana.  Explore its halls to see works of art by Botticelli, Titian, Raphael, and more. Caravaggio’s Basket of Fruit, a still-life painting, is just one of the highlights.   How long you stay inside the museum is up to you. The recommended visit time is 1.5 hours.

The "Temple of Leonardo" and the forgotten Rococo.

It is not just a picture gallery, it is the temple dedicated to Leonardo and his disciples, a collection that has no equal in the world! Then the "Basket of Fruit" by Caravaggio, which is worth the expensive entrance ticket, and the cartoon of the "School of Athens" by Raphael. But the picture gallery has much more. If the fifteenth/sixteenth-century collections are displayed in a masterful way, with lighting that should teach how works of art should be correctly illuminated; it is a pity that this attention ends suddenly with the seventeenth/eighteenth-century collections. As always for the Rococo, the role of the "servant". Few but precious paintings of the most exquisite Lombard school, with Carlo Innocenzo Carloni, Tiepolo, Magatti, and the masterpiece by Cesare Ligari once indicated as a Tiepolo... well, this treasure displayed in full light in front of windows makes aesthetic appreciation impossible, and so the "average" visitor skips the entire room. I hope that among the projects of the venerable Institution there are intentions aimed at the enhancement of this heritage, which is truly hidden here and crushed by the weight of the "neighbors" (Leonardo, Botticelli, Raphael, Caravaggio, etc.).

Entrance to the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana

Something you must do if you go to Milan. You might get to see the best codex as the presentations change every 2 months.

A night at the museum.

In the context of the initiative "a night at the museum," last night I visited the art gallery with my family. Beautiful artworks and interesting architecture. Critical notes: the path is not very well marked, and (this applies to many museums) the signs with information about the artworks are written in small print and are not very accessible (perhaps also due to the crowd).

Thank you for giving me an incredible experience.

The lightening alone was worth every cent!!!!! I have been in museums everywhere and this is the 1st time I could see and appreciate the entire exhibit. I don’t understand how major museums cannot figure this out.

Very Cool Experience

Very cool place with a lot of art. You can see fascinating paintings and statues from many Renaissance and Ancient Roman artists. There are audio guides available for an extra 6 Euros. Expect to spend about 3 hours here to truly enjoy everything.
