Pinacoteca di Brera

Why go

The Pinacoteca di Brera is an art museum in Milan that, its site says, opened to the public in 1809 inside the Palazzo Brera, a palace it shares with other institutions such as the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense and the Academy of Fine Arts. The museum describes itself as an autonomous state museum whose institute also includes the Biblioteca Braidense and Palazzo Citterio, presented together as the Grande Brera. Its entrances page says the Grande Brera ticket is bought for a chosen date and time and is sold through its Brera Booking platform, where reservation is required, at the museum's ticket office and through its call centre. This record is the museum, not the Palazzo Brera building. Hours and admission rules are set by the museum and change, so check its site before you go.
