Pinacoteca di Brera map

Navigating your way around Pinacoteca di Brera

Pinacoteca di Brera is housed within the historic Palazzo Brera, a large cultural complex centered around the Cortile d'Onore courtyard. Use the map to easily locate entrances, meeting points, masterpieces, and visitor facilities before exploring one of Milan's most celebrated art museums.

  • Find your entry point based on your ticket type: Standard ticket and voucher holders enter through Via Brera 28 and proceed to the ticket office inside the Cortile d'Onore before heading to the galleries. Guided tour guests should make their way directly to the meeting point near Napoleon's statue in the centre of the courtyard, where their guide will be waiting. Arriving at least 15 minutes early is recommended.
  • Locate the gallery's most iconic masterpieces: Use the map to find some of the museum's most iconic works, including Raphael's Marriage of the Virgin, Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus, and Hayez's The Kiss. These landmark artworks are spread throughout the gallery and can help you navigate the collection with ease.
  • Find essential visitor facilities: The map highlights important facilities such as the cloakroom, restrooms, bookshop, and accessible entrance. Large bags and backpacks must be deposited in the cloakroom before entering the galleries, while restrooms are available at various points throughout the visitor route.
  • Important note on food and drinks: Food and drinks are not permitted inside the exhibition rooms. Since refreshment facilities are not located within the gallery circuit, it's best to plan any breaks before entering the museum or after completing your visit.
