Go behind the scenes of Milan's cathedral at the Museo del Duomo di Milano. See the original statues, stained glass and tapestries up close and follow the story of how the Duomo took shape.
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.
