Pinacoteca di Brera

MuseumMilanAbout 2 hours

Milan's major painting collection — Mantegna's foreshortened Dead Christ, Piero della Francesca, Raphael, Caravaggio — in an academy building in the most attractive quarter of the city. Consistently uncrowded for what it holds. Two hours, then the Brera streets around it.
