It has amazing stained glass and paintings inside too.Written July 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike XChicago, IL3,789 contributionsHighly recommend doing this first. You can get access to it with the combo Duomo ticket. The app gives you a lot of good details about the Duomo. Much more than the duomo audio app itself. It's in a complex with a few other museums so make sure you're waiting in the right line (to the left as soon as you pass through the archway).Written September 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PandM_10Great Malvern, UK226 contributionsThis is an emotional experience. The art within the site provokes thought about the persecution and extermination of Italian Jews. The testimonies are troubling and the cattle wagons...Written May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WeHa 98Aschaffenburg, Germany233 contributionsI did not really have any huge expectations of this painting to be honest, I am glad to have seen it and can appreciate what a signficant piece of art it is. Bigger than I had expected to be honest and I particularly like the story of how it was preserved during the war - worth visiting for sure.Written October 4, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Craig SNewburgh, NY149 contributionsThe visit was pleasant. The audio guide through the app was disjointed and hard to follow. We were able to get a glimpse inside the actual Teatro and that was exciting. It was worth the trip, but perhaps not a must-see attraction. There was no gift shop and the person at the ticket booth informed us that it disappeared during Covid and never came back.Written June 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RJDMilan, Italy3 contributions1. Staff (except the cloakroom lady) were unfriendly; 2. Signage is absent (you get lost, have no idea where things are); 3. captions are small, low down and too long; 4. information about how entrance works is poor (the permanent collection is free, but you have to get a ticket; staff assume you're going to an exhibition, prices for which (expensive) are not clearly displayed).
Recommendations for Mudec: creative staff should involve public-contact staff more so they are not just doing a boring job; they should get signage and communications experts to make the visit less frustrating.
Recommendations for visitors: just go to the permanent exhibtiion and see a part of this for 30–40 minutes: the displays are well made and researched, show thought and are interesting—but after that museum fatigue sets in because the visit is more about learning than being emotionally involved in great works of visual art.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Examples and accompanying texts very clear and give a good insight of the design processes.Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Keelafab8 contributionsBeautiful aesthetic and architecture of the galery with the detailing in the flooring and sculptures within the pillars were absolutely breath taking. Filled with most luxurious departments stores but found few shops with mid range prices . Great place to takie pictures and feel a bit lavish , coffee prices 4 times higher than in the other nice coffee places in Milan, but I guess you pay fro the ambience and the vibe.Written October 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AleksandarBelgrade, Serbia8,214 contributionsAlthough the hall itself is impressive, the video presentation is even more staggering. Quite an unexpected treat while discovering the Castle.Written December 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dawn T6 contributionsDo not miss this hidden treasure! The ancient ruins of this Teatro, or amphitheater, are riveting, but it is Claudio who brings them and the history of the Lombardy region to life. This site is not open to the public, there are no signs at the location (which is in the basement of the Chamber of Commerce) and there is no website. As a result, you must email or call, in advance, to set up a reservation and get directions. With an email to teatroromano@mi.camcom.it, I requested a private tour (in English) with Claudio. He was passionate about his city, its history and the discovery of these ruins; in turn, so were we. With Claudio’s presentation and the remnants of the Teatro below us, we could envision the amphitheater full of its citizens and rulers as well as imagine the sounds, tastes and smells. This visit was one of the highlights in Milan, a visit we will talk about for years to come.Written December 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alessandro FMilan, Italy32,553 contributionsSquare building in the middle of the way from new square Gae Aulenti and old neighborhood Isola. Was built the first years of this century to remember the past wars and racial discrimination.
