Full Description
The Pinacoteca di Brera
The Pinacoteca di Brera occupies the seventeenth-century Palazzo di Brera, in the heart of one of Milan's most attractive districts. The gallery was created in 1809 under Napoleon and is now Italy's leading picture gallery outside Florence and Rome. If you are searching for Brera Gallery tickets, this ticket also includes Palazzo Citterio.
The rooms are arranged by period and school, and the layout is easy to follow, so you can spend an hour on the highlights or two or three hours on everything. Visitors often say it feels more relaxed than the Uffizi.
Raphael, Caravaggio, Mantegna and Bellini
Raphael's Marriage of the Virgin, painted in 1504, is one of the masterpieces of the Renaissance, admired for its calm perspective and harmony. Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus shows the dramatic light and realism that changed European painting.
Mantegna's Dead Christ, with its shocking foreshortening, is one of the most striking images in the gallery, and Giovanni Bellini's Pietà is among the most moving. Also look for Piero della Francesca's altarpiece and, in another room, Hayez's The Kiss, the famous symbol of Italian Romanticism, which draws crowds of its own and is a favourite for photographs.
Palazzo Citterio and its modern art
Palazzo Citterio is the second part of the Grande Brera, an eighteenth-century neoclassical palace on Via Brera that has been restored to house modern art. Its rooms show works by twentieth-century masters such as Modigliani, Picasso and Boccioni, and the collections are arranged in elegant, restored interiors.
There is also a garden that offers a quiet moment away from the street. The visit is shorter than the Pinacoteca, about an hour, and it works well as a contrast to the old masters. Your date and time apply to the Brera visit, and Palazzo Citterio can be seen at any time in the following six days.
Planning your visit: the Brera district, hours and access
The Brera district is one of Milan's most charming areas, with narrow streets, cafés and boutiques, so it is pleasant to walk before or after your visit. The nearest metro stops are Lanza and Montenapoleone, and it is about fifteen minutes on foot from the Duomo.
The museums are wheelchair-accessible, and the ticket does not include a guided tour. Opening hours change by season and the gallery is closed on some days, so check the slots in the booking panel. The best time to visit is a weekday morning or late afternoon.
