The Brera et al.

The Brera, the home of the prestigious Brera Academy (of Art).

 The building also houses Milan's collection of old masters, mainly nicked from Venice by Napoleon.

 Trying to find some modern art, we also visited the  Museum of Contemporary Art, only to find it not that contemporary.  Napoleon used to stay here after he made himselve king of Italy, well this northern part anyway, in 1805.

Apart from the obvious reason for me to take this photograph, the detailed carving of the net the lady is lying on was quite extraordinary.
