Museum of important works of art of the XXth century mostly Italian, in a beautiful building. Boccioni, Severini, Carra, Balla, Fontana, Picasso and other well known artists. It has a restaurant with interesting dishes on the 3rd floor to enjoy a cup of coffee or a delicious meal overlooking the Duomo

Very nice museum, I don't know if admission is always free, but on Sundays I think it is. From the top floor there are incredible views of the cathedral. The elevator is only for workers

Beautiful museum that helps you to know more about the Italian art context of the 20th century. Also, the building is interesting and gives you an exeptional view of Duomo and the place in front of it, above the tourists' crowds. The entry price is surprisingly affordable compared to other museums and highlights of Milan, 5€ only. I highly recommend the place 😍

This art gallery is absolutely fantastic — the exhibitions are thoughtfully curated, and the atmosphere is inspiring. The only downside is that the air conditioning on most floors feels quite weak, especially during warmer days. The top floor near the piano area was pleasantly cool, but the lower levels could really use better ventilation.

Hadn't originally planned to go to this museum, and we ended up going to get away from the rain for a while. It was an amazing decision. I don't usually like modern art, but the displays here were amazing, you can really appreciate all the paintings and the effort the different artists underwent. If you like art at all I would highly recomend visiting.

When is the best time to visit Museo del Novecento (Milan, Italy)?
