Pinacoteca di Brera is the Milan's most famous and one of Italy's major art museums. It is housed in the beautiful building of the Palazzo di Brera along with the Botanical Garden, the Astronomical Observatory and Museum, the Academy of Fine Arts, etc. There is a vast, impressive collection on display, mostly religious art, spanning a large period of time, with masterpieces by famous painters, such as Caravaggio, Tintoretto, Bellini, Raffaello, Canaletto, Picasso, etc. You can take an audio-guide but there are info-plates for every drawing, both in Italian and English. As there are more than 30 rooms, you will need about 3 hours but there are benches to sit here and there. Furthermore, you can have some refreshment at the Caffe Fernanda. For those who love to draw, there are special places to "sit down and draw" with paper and pencils. The pinacoteca is closed on Mondays but it is free of charge every first Sunday of the month. If you are with kids, you can benefit from being charged as a family. Highly recommended! Enjoy it!
