Seeing The Last Supper is one of those Milan experiences you kind of feel obligated to do, and…read morehonestly, it's worth it -- just don't expect fireworks. Even with prepaid tickets, you still have to go to the building next door to redeem them, then wait until your exact assigned time to enter. They run it super precisely, moving groups of about 20-30 people through a few climate-controlled rooms before you reach the main hall. You wait around five minutes in each section, then get about 15 minutes with the mural itself. Total experience is roughly half an hour. The process feels like airport security meets museum logistics, but it's designed to protect the painting. Having a tour group in my slot actually helped a lot: I unintentionally learned a ton by listening in, which made the experience more interesting. Without context, it's easy to just stand there like, "Yep, that's the painting." As for the mural itself, it's cool, historic, and obviously iconic -- but it is pretty faded in real life compared to photos. It's not visually mind-blowing, but knowing you're standing in front of something Leonardo painted over 500 years ago hits differently. Not thrilling, not overrated either. More of a quiet, respectful "wow, this actually exists" moment.

An art and design museum founded in the 1930s, the thing I loved most about it was a lot of it was…read morefree though I regret not paying for the special exhibit on Italian design on the first floor. The layout is interesting with a linear entryway that gets broken up by stairs on one side that leads you up to the free exhibits. There were furniture designs and modern art pieces displayed here. The most interesting parts during my visit were the "free" playground pieces outside by Naoto Fukasawa. My friends kid loved playing on these and nice to see such humble objects displayed right outside the museum. Upstairs they had a special section dedicated to Emeco, an American furniture maker, which was interesting to find in Italy. They are most known for the all aluminum "naval chair" in continuous production since 1940s. It's pure utilitarian and interesting to see it respected as museum-worthy.

What is fun and unique about this exhibit is that you can try almost all the chairs! Some are more comfortable than others and they aren't always the ones that you expect. They offer a special program/game for kids who are going through the exhibit to help make it more entertaining. They also almost always have an exhibition or two that is free for you to explore as well. In addition to the bookstore, there is a design library downstairs and a section for workshops/study near the entrance. I've enjoyed the cafe here more than once and although I've not attended, they also offer an apertivo in the evening. Once you are done, it's great to stroll through Parco Sempione.

The wall color is different in each room and the scale of the art is unlike anything I have ever seen in either the Uffizi, Prado, the Louve or the Met. Paintings the size of Times Square billboards cover walls of intense blues, teals and magenta. We had the good fortune of seeing a spectacular exhibit featuring the work of Giorgio Armani whose elaborate creations were on display in almost every room. The building itself was a marvel. Timed tickets are a must.

It is worth visiting because of the art in the museum. The museum itself is not functional, the lighting is not designed to present the art at its best (artificial light reflects on the glass so you have to move to a side to enjoy some of the art with glass in the front) and it has a weird flow that requires staff to guide visitors in and out. It is very small, so good size if you want to get in and out, especially if you have young ones with you that may not enjoy museums as much.

Admission comes with the Duomo ticket and it's located in the Palazzo Reale complex directly to the…read moresouth of the Duomo (to the right, if you're in front of, and facing the Duomo) as many have mentioned. When you're facing the front of the Palazzo Reale, there is a main archway in the center, and the duomo museum entrance is within that archway, on the left side. (One of the entrances to the Palazzo Reale exhibitions is on the right side). There is also a cafe directly to the right of the duomo museum entrance. You can purchase a separate ticket here if you didn't purchase a duomo ticket too, though I agree with some other reviews in that it might not be worth your 45min-1hr if you have only limited time in Milan. There are a lot of relicts on display from mosaics and church objects to tapestries, antique books, carvings and sculptures. Many of these have detailed explanations for individual objects in Italian, with a fair amount in English too, though some might feel a need more background. It's possible to get a multimedia guide via their app (€3.49 downloadable on google play or App Store) that takes you thru the museum. The walking trajectory within the museum is rather winding, they loop you around using lots of arrows and "exhibit continues this way" signs, I guess they make the most of the space. I appreciated the miniature wooden models of the Duomo were impressive in the level of detail. Also insightful to see some of the stone sculptures that were part of the outer facade--each work can be considered a masterpiece in itself. On a Sunday afternoon in April it wasn't too crowded, though certain rooms more than others especially with tour groups, and barely a line to enter. (Contrasted with a 1 hour wait at the Impressionist exhibit at the Palazzo Reale). There were bathrooms inside but small so there was a line for those.
