The Brera Pinacoteca

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinacoteca_di_Brera

What a gorgeous Museum. ˆ was really excited to see the Mantegna...but was blown away by the Bellini. They have many beautiful pieces in this museum. They have a big glass room where you can watch the experts restoring paintings. You can also see this Canova Napoleon ( as Augustus)  being restored. I arrived at 5. The museum closed at 6. I would like to go back.
