Reception and wardrobe
In the entrance area, the Diocesan Museum Volunteers provide visitors with free information and pointers about how to find their way around the Museum, how a visit should evolve, and scheduled exhibitions and cultural initiative. To enhance the Museum visit and ensure suitable security standards for the works of art, visitors will be asked to leave umbrellas, large bags, backpacks and other unwieldy objects at the entrance; mobile phones must be switched off.
Audio Guides
Since it opened the Diocesan Museum has been offering a free audio guide service, which allows visitors to appreciate the Museum tour to the full, thanks to the support of two levels of commentary on the works: basic explanations or the Director's commentary. Moreover, the Artour service offers a visit of the Ticinese quarter, with its important historical and artistic heritage from the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio to San Lorenzo, with Italian and English commentaries.
Bookshop
The bookshop has a consultation display and sells all the texts published by the Diocesan Museum, from its inauguration to the present time, alongside an excellent selection of publications on the Diocese of Milan's churches and museums, on Italian art history, on iconography and on the presence of religion in art. There are also postcards, posters and multimedia products. Purchases can also be made online from the
Publications section.
Coffee Bar
The Museum has a lovely coffee bar where visitors can relax in a charming, quiet corner of the city. Lunch or dinner is available by prior booking, and it is also possible to organize special celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries, etc).
