We were so excited to go. I even called ahead of time to make a reservation for the tour and I find…read moreout that they don't actually organize English speaking tours. If you want to have a tour, you have to organize a group of people to go with you by yourself. They don't even take names of English speakers that want to take the tour, to put them all together in a group. You are essentially written off by the secretary and they don't care to find a solution to the problem. Very disappointing.

Piccolo Teatro Grassi is one of the three theaters operated by The Piccolo Teatro della Citta di…read moreMilano (The Little Theatre of the City of Milan). It is named for Paolo Grassi, one of the theater's founders. I wasn't able to attend a performance in the theatre, but did attend a performance for children, in the building courtyard. The actors and staging were wonderful, and the children laughed uproariously. Five Stars. As an aside: There is a very sobering plaque on the outside wall of Piccolo Teatro Grassi, that roughly translates from Italian: "HERE BETWEEN September 8, 1943 April 25, 1945 AND NOW HAVE FOUND THE TORTURE AND DEATH HUNDREDS OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF PRISONERS OF FASCISTI LITTLE THEATRE HAS MADE THIS EDIFICIOUN CENTER AND A SYMBOL OF REBIRTH OF CULTURAL AND DEMOCRATIC LIFE OF MILAN" Thank You, Google Translate!, and Thank You, Piccolo Teatro della Citta di Milano.

Couldn't believe the size of some of these. It is strange that the exit is the entrance, so you will have to walk ALL the way back. Still, an amazing place and check out my pictures!

This museum is a must see when in Milan. It is so wonderful that I would even recommend a trip to…read moreMilan just to see it. The art is mostly religious but the setting is what makes it special. 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.
