Milan is an expensive city. Yes, true, but there are still places that we can access without having to pay a euro. In this article we want to introduce you to ten museums that you can visit for free in the city throughout the year, or some days and a few hours a week. You can start with the Italy Gallery, located in the central Piazza della Scala. Interestingly, despite its location it is not one of the best known museums in the Lombard capital. In it you will find hundreds of works by the best Italian artists of the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries.
From here we can go to the Via Chiese to visit the Bicocca Hangar, a structure formed after the industrial development of the Breda area and which has been standing in the Bicocca district since 1903. Since 2004, this space has been dedicated to different temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, and entry is free. On the Via Jan is the Boschi Di Stefano House Museum, a charming little museum of XNUMXth century Italian art. Here lived the marriage formed by Antonio Boschi and Marieda Di Stefano, whose collection is the one shown.
We are now going to Via San Sisto to see the Museum Study of Francesco Messina, located in the old church of San Sisto al Carrobbio, two steps from Via Torino. A place that was also the studio of Francesco Messina, one of the best Italian figurative sculptors of the XNUMXth century. The museum houses more than a hundred works by this artist.
We can now go to the courtyard of the Sforzesco Castle, where you can see some exhibitions, including an art gallery, a small Egyptian museum and an ancient art museum where you will find Michelangelo's famous Rondanini Pieta. To enter you have to pay, although it is free from Wednesday to Sunday from 16.30:17.30 p.m. to 14.00:XNUMX p.m. and every Tuesday from XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. We also have, in Via Palestro, the Modern Art Gallery, located in the beautiful Villa Belgiojoso. For its architecture and its garden it is worth the visit, but also for its exhibition dedicated to the neoclassical and the romantic age. You can enter for free every Tuesday from 14.00:16.30 p.m. and every day from XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.
Finally, at the Palazzo dell'Arengario we have the Museo del Novecento. It is not a free museum throughout the year, but it is at certain times (Tuesdays from 14.00:17.30 p.m., Wednesdays from 20.30:2010 p.m., Fridays and Sundays from XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. and all day on Thursdays and Saturdays). Opened in XNUMX, it is one of the most beautiful contemporary art museums in Italy. Of the same style is the Museum of the Risorgimento, at Palazzo Moriggia, free from Wednesday to Sunday from 16.30 p.m. to 17.30 p.m. and every Tuesday from 14.00 p.m.
