Galleria d'Arte Moderna (GAM)

Well, the gallery is only partially open. Having bought the Museum Card, with all civic museums if Milan, I visited it yesterday -expecting to explore its impressive modern art collection (as advertised, with works by Picasso, Manet and Van Gogh). But, as the staff at the tickets said, this entire section is still closed for renovation (which is not mentioned on the museum’s website and lasts many months, as I see from other reviews here). So, only the 1st floor is open to visitors, with works from the 18th and 19th century Neoclassicism, Romanticism and Symbolism movements. Apart from that, which was a major disappointment, the building itself is impressive inside (Palazzo Reale) and the guarding staff pretty discreet and polite. There is also a contemporary art work- installation "Parnassus", which is exhibited now in one of the halls.

Went for the Paul Troubetzoy, great exhibition! The permanent collection is rather small, some beautiful works, my personal fav is Zandomeneghi. Think there is still another floor that is under renovation, though they didnt inform it on the website.

We visited the GAM Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Milan expecting to explore its impressive modern art collection, including works by Picasso, Manet, and Van Gogh. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed to discover that this entire section was closed for renovation, something that was not clearly mentioned on the museum’s website. As a result, the only part open to visitors was the 18th and 19th century Romanticism section. That said, the museum is housed in the beautiful neoclassical Villa Reale, and the building itself is truly worth seeing. The architecture, grand rooms, and elegant interiors give a real sense of Milan’s aristocratic past, and walking through them feels like stepping back in time. While the closure of the modern art wing was a letdown, the highlight of our visit was undoubtedly Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo’s Il Quarto Stato an incredibly powerful and iconic painting that alone makes the visit worthwhile. Overall, GAM is a beautiful museum in a stunning setting, but it would have been good to know about the renovation beforehand to avoid the disappointment.

Fabulous museum in grand Empire building that used to be the residence of the Viceroy of Italy under Napoleon and later the Habsburgs. "Modern" here mostly means 19th century (the third floor was closed for renovation), including large collections of works by Giovanni Segantini (1858-1899) and Medardo Rosso (1858-1928). The collection also includes the famous "The Fourth Estate" by Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo (1868-1907).

Odd museum. Nice art, but odd. Your tickets are checked 2-3 times as you wander into a new room, odd signage. I liked the art, but odd museum. I think the management should come and see it from a user perspective.
