da TuscanyAll 16 Giugno 2011, 15:02 Milan Museum

This special ticket combination includes the entrance tickets to the two most important art galleries in Milan that you cannot miss and will allow you to visit them without waiting in line by pre-reserved tickets.In the refectory of the Domenican convent adjoining the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, houses one of the world's most celebrated works: Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper”.
Painted between 1494 and 1498 under the rule of Ludovico il Moro, Leonardo abandoning the traditional method of fresco painting, depicted the scene "a secco" on the wall of the refectory.
Extensive measures have been implemented to protect the fresco from further exposure. To ensure that the fresco be kept at room temperature, since restoration the visitor intake has been restricted to a group of 25 admitted every 15 minutes.
The Pinacoteca Ambrosiana is a historic library in Milan. Named after Ambrose, the patron saint of Milan, it was founded by Cardinal Federico Borromeo (1564–1631), whose agents scoured Western Europe and even Greece and Syria for books and manuscripts. Some major acquisitions of complete libraries were the manuscripts of the Benedictine monastery of Bobbio (1606) and the library of the Paduan Vincenzo Pinelli.
Opened in 1618 it is also the oldest museum in Milan. It was created to inspire and encourage up-and-coming Italian artists. Over the years the large collection of art has grown, thanks to many generous private donations.
It contains important works as Raffaello’s cartoon for “School of Athens” fresco; Caravaggio’s “Basket of fruit”; Botticelli’s “Madonna con Bambino e tre angeli ”.
