Travel Tip - Brera Museum
1
Posted by: Justine Bayod Espoz | Date: 20th April 2009
Possibly Milan’s best known art museum, Brera’s collection is focused on classical works of art by master painters such as Raphael, Bellini, Rembrandt, Goya, Caravaggio, Van Dyck and El Greco. One of the museum’s centerpieces is Andrea Mantegna’s masterpiece The Dead Christ, a beautiful and evocative painting of Christ removed from the cross.
The museum, which opened at the beginning of the 19th century, is made up of 38 rooms. Although that may sound quite large, the museum is actually a very manageable size and can easily be seen in its entirety in a couple of hours.
The Pinacoteca di Brera is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8:30AM to 7:15PM. Entrance costs 10 Euros. Audio tours are available for an additional 3.50 Euros.
