Milan's Cenacolo Vinciano Reopens with Sustainability and Restoration Plans

On February 9, 2021, the Museo del Cenacolo Vinciano in Milan, which houses Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" (1494–1498), reopened its doors following a closure due to the pandemic. Emanuela Daffra and Michela Palazzo shared this news during a Zoom press conference. The museum will initially welcome visitors from Tuesday to Friday until February 21, with a maximum of 12 guests allowed every 15 minutes until February 12, increasing to 18 starting February 16. This reopening marks the full return of Lombardy Museums, with the exception of the Roman Archaeological Museum of Cividate Camuno and Mupre in Val Camonica. Future conservation efforts will include multispectral analyses by Annette Keller and the restoration of Donato Montorfano's "Crucifixion," supported by Mibact, alongside new lighting and sustainable energy projects.
