Full description

Housed in the old convent of Sant'Apollonia, this museum centres on Andrea del Castagno's monumental Last Supper, painted around 1450 and noted for its vivid colour. Reviewers repeatedly mention having the space almost to themselves, and recommend it to anyone already visiting the nearby Accademia.

Entry is inexpensive and the visit takes around 45 minutes, making it an easy add-on. Its mix of strong culture and hidden-gem traits suits travellers who want Renaissance frescoes without the queues of the headline museums.

Everyone and anyone visiting the Academia needs to go here. Renaissance frescoes of the last supper? Yes! Incredible history and we had the place to ourselves. Visit, you will not be disappointed
