Definitely one of the best art galleries in Milan. Incredibly uncrowded. - A wonderful art gallery, joined by a ticket with the Crypt of the Holy Sepulchre. Visit really long and interesting, with paintings and unexpected works (Botticelli, Titian among many). A scenic library is part of the place, and not being able to read all those books is such a sweet pain. Incredibly, even on a day like Sunday of the first WE of June, little attended. One of those gems that, like Palazzo Davanzati in Florence, remain semi-unknown among the most popular attractions of the Duomo and Brera. I recommend you go there as a primary place of visit, and not by chance as it happened to us.

Great display of DaVinci Sketches - It was so inspiring to see the DaVinci sketches and the presentation of them here is excellent. It may take a little time to find this museum, but it is well worth it to see these historical works.

Beautiful visit - A treasure chest of art and beauty in the center of Milan, less visited than other museums and yet equally worthy. It already applies only to Leonardo's Codex Atlanticus. Visit that takes a minimum of 1.30 hours, including the extraordinary underground church.

Endless works of art - He has many pieces of art of all kinds, especially religious paintings. The library with Leonardo Da Vinci’s Atlantic Codex is spectacular. Also noteworthy is Raphael’s Athens School sketch.

Wonderful art to see - don’t buy the audio guides though. - A larger collection of renaissance art and collectables than I would have thought. You need a good hour or 2 to see it properly. We both bought audio guides for 5€ each and we both had problems with the devices. The sound kept dropping out, and it was difficult to navigate the system to identify the artworks. Unnecessarily frustrating.

The lighting gave me a headache - I’m afraid I didn’t enjoy the Ambrosiana as much as I thought I would. A lot of this has to do with the lighting. They say it’s for conservation purposes but other museums and galleries seem to manage without giving you a crashing headache. Very little has English translation, which is fair enough but trying to read and translate the italian labels in sometimes pitch black sometimes piercing spotlight makes it hard going. If you think Leonardo’s musician is really worth it then it’s right at the end of the visit.
