Really beautiful pieces.. gallery is full of amazing art work. Museum is really big and got 2 separate exhibitions. Downstairs is the first one and upstairs is gallery with library. After visit you can have coffee and something sweet

Stepping into the Pinacoteca di Brera was a personal journey of awe, where the inner beauty of the gallery unveiled itself in stark contrast to the neglect outside. The perfect illumination and pristine cleanliness created an intimate connection with each masterpiece, complemented by the warmth and friendliness of the staff who made the experience uniquely personal. The cozy café became a retreat, adding a touch of comfort to my exploration. Encountering Caravaggio's work was a deeply emotional moment, catching me off guard with tears that spoke to the profound impact of the art. The experience made the visit to Pinacoteca di Brera not just a tour through art but a personal encounter with beauty that renders it absolutely worthwhile.

The museum is amazing, the building itself is so beautiful and the museums collection is beyond incredible. There are so many breathtaking works, and the pieces from Francesco Hayez are so beautiful. I definitely recommend getting there as early as possible, because it can get very crowded and difficult to enjoy.

Housing a large amount of Italian art. Each piece has a plate in Italian and English giving the name of the artist, when it was painted and info about the painting. Well organised. Was fairly empty at 8:30 but got a bit crowded with groups of school kids around 10:00. Allow at least 3 hours to see it all.

Yes, the museum is primarily religious art, which can get boring quickly. But the museum has excellent notes, which makes at least many of the paintings one would walk by quickly more worth spending time with. And the building is excellent, and there's enough richness here that if you like art at least a little, it's worth the effort.

Lovely museum. Lots of mostly 15th-18th century pieces, with some more modern and Medieval. Some big name pieces (meaning for me, nanes I recognize) and much good description in English and Italian. Some nice ones more kid focussed with sone interesting questions. The restoration display was particularly inteteresting to me.

We spent nearly 4 hours in this museum. It is truly wonderful. Do yourself a favor, stop in the cafe for a coffee or tea and go back to see more of the art after. I love that the museum has nice chairs and benches to sit and appreciate the art.

I really wanted to see this museum again after so many years. The collection is much smaller than other famous italian museums but is absolutely worth a 2-3 hour visit. We visited in a Sunday and the museum wasnt packed. The ticket office and museum are on the second floor. In the biggest rooms there are some worknif art of the 20th century that belong to the museum but are seldom shown because of lack of space. One of the rooms has a painting that is shown as being restored for the visitors under glass. Absolutely recommended.

I very much enjoyed our time here! I thought the museum was very clean, slick, with a gorgeous interior design that emphasised the artwork. The exterior was gorgeous. The descriptions are solid for English speakers. The cafe was slightly overpriced but I thought it was nice. I am no art aficionado, but there are some highlights for art lovers: Bellini, Raphael, and Caravaggio. I also really enjoyed the collection of polyptychs that were on display. It is a wonderful collection of Italian master art.

Comprising thirty or so rooms on the first floor of a Baroque Palazzo the Pinatoceca di Brera displays lays masterpieces of.italian art from medieval times to the eighteenth century. The highlights are works by Bellini, Raphael and Tintoretto. There are twentieth century works but these are in temporary display cabinets awaiting a move to an adjoining building at some indeterminate point in the future. The collection is the legacy of the French occupation of Italy by Napoleon Bonaparte. The metro station we used to access the gallery is called Monte Napoleone. There is a cafe and a small bookshop in the ticket office on the ground floor.
