A must see in Milan. We visited mid-week at about 12 noon and it was pretty empty. The audio guide was useful and we really enjoyed the tour. Recommend spending the extra €5 for that. Had planned to spend an hour and instead we were there for 2.5 hours. The art is beautiful and so is the building.

There are some very famous paintings in the Pinacoteca. Most of them are religious so unless you are a fan of hundreds of The holy Mary depuctions and the baby jesus maybe its not your thing. But the building itself is beautiful and every room is curated beautifully plys right now the Giorgio Armani gaute couture pieces are among the art to see. The paintings get get better at the end. Still worth a visit because it is like travelling back in time.

Nice Italian museum, mainly paintings. If you buy a ticket, you cal also visit another museum (5 minutes by walk) which is more related to the modern art. You can spend there 1-2 hours.

I visited on at 3pm on Saturday at the end of May. Well laid out museum containing excellent Italian art work with works of Hayez, Raphael and Carracci. Rooms were spacious. A must see in Milan

Beautifully curated, the artwork is excellently lit, highly recommend the visit. Visited Monday afternoon and there were no queues. Highly recommend the combo passes with Duomo access, that is what we had and it was perfect.
