While Rome and Florence museums display unique treasures dating back to the Roman age and the Renaissance, \u00a0<strong>Milan museums, in line with the modern flair of the city, house some of the most precious pieces of art from the last two centuries<\/strong>. Together with some prestigious masterpieces from older ages (The Last Supper and Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s works above all), museums in Milan let you discover the real essence of Italy&#8217;s and Europe&#8217;s art in the modern age, making the city one of the most appreciated cultural hubs in the world.<\/p>\n<h2>Milan Museums<\/h2>\n<p>Milan seems to be the perfect place for tourists who like to have a nice stroll around the city center while being surrounded by beauty. The right thing to do in between looking at its\u00a0sparkling shop windows and diving into the posh Milanese nightlife is to visit its astonishing museums. The Milan city center is not as big as other famous cities around\u00a0the world, and most of its museums are located right in this area, so this is appealing to every tourist. Here is a list of the most famous Milan museums.<\/p>\n<h2>1) The Last Supper in Santa Maria delle Grazie<\/h2>\n<p>Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s <em>Last Supper<\/em> (called &#8220;<em>Il Cenacolo&#8221;<\/em> in Italian) is the biggest attraction for people coming from all over the world. Painted by Leonardo, who\u00a0is presumed to have started\u00a0his\u00a0masterpiece around 1495, this mural painting is still surrounded by an air of mystery regarding its creation\u00a0and real meaning.\u00a0The mural painting is located in the refectory of the convent of <em>Santa Maria della Grazie<\/em>, and is listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.\u00a0As this is one of the most famous paintings in the world, the church now acts as a museum. Only a group of 25 people every 15 minutes is allowed to visit this Milanese museum, that is why it is really hard to find tickets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/painting-337049_1280.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25436\" src=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/painting-337049_1280-1024x521.jpg\" alt=\"Milan museums\" width=\"800\" height=\"407\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What you should know<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Purchasing the Last Supper Tickets at least 2 months in advance is the only way to access the museum<\/li>\n<li>No pictures are allowed in the museums<\/li>\n<li>You only have 15 minutes to admire the painting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2) Castello Sforzesco<\/h2>\n<p>Built in the fifteenth\u00a0century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, <em>Castello Sforzesco<\/em> is the second most visited monument in Milan after the Duomo.\u00a0 It is one of the largest fortresses in Europe, and since 1896 it has hosted one of the largest and most complete art collections in Milan, with Michelangelo&#8217;s <em>Rondanini Piet\u00e0 <\/em>as its centerpiece.
