📖

Full description

Museo del Duomo di Milano, established in 1953, preserves the original sculptures, stained-glass pieces, tapestries and marble works created for the cathedral over the centuries. Reviewers describe it as compact but rewarding, adding real depth to a visit to the Duomo itself, with well-preserved original pieces and a clear layout.

It is small enough that it does not take over a day, and an hour covers it comfortably. A gift shop and tours are available.

It suits anyone wanting to understand how the cathedral was built and decorated rather than only seeing its exterior.
