Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Art museum near Duomo, Milan, Italy
The Pinacoteca Ambrosiana displays more than 1,500 paintings, drawings, and sculptures from Italian and European masters across multiple exhibition halls.
Cardinal Federico Borromeo established the museum in 1618 as part of a larger cultural institution that included a library and an art academy.
The collection contains major works by Leonardo da Vinci, including the Codex Atlanticus, alongside paintings by Raphael, Botticelli, and Caravaggio.
The gallery opens Tuesday through Friday from 14:00 to 18:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 18:00, with wheelchair access throughout the building.
