More than just da Vinci - We went mainly to see da Vinci's codex but there are several masterpiece paintings (including 1 by da Vinci) and other interesting items to see as well. Only a sample of pages from the codex were available to view due to the age and fragility of the codex but it was still very interesting to see them. The collection is housed in massive library of antique books, there is also a very nice museum store. We only had an hour, recommend more time to fully appreciate everything.

For art enthusiasts - Very nice. Three hours went by, like flying. The signs are unsorted, but we picked our way. Admission, combi with crypt, is high at 20.0€, but Milan is just expensive.

Beautiful and Hidden Jewel - In the center of Milan, a few steps from the cathedral and Via Torino, the Pinacoteca is Biblioteca Ambrosiana and 'a wonderful place of culture where you can admire some unique and extraordinary works. From the historic library with Leonardo's Codex Atlanticus to the Preparatory Cartoon of Raphael's Rooms to the Vatican Museums. From the paintings of Caravaggio (fruit basket), Leonardo (Giovinetto), Botticelli, Brughel (flower pot), Titian... really beautiful

Worth a visit for any art lover - Very interesting collection of sacred paintings as well as portraits. There is a painting of a fruit basket by Caravaggio- this by itself is worth a visit. Beautiful building with several wings.

Superior, a must see. - I can’t pinpoint only one thing that I enjoyed. The entire museum is worth seeing. Dante’s writings were an extra bonus.

Must visit in Milan - Amazing artworks, strongly recommend you hire the iPad self-guided tour. It’s fantastic even setting a guide based on how much time you have. The Da Vinci exhibition is brilliant.
