It is unthinkable to be in Milan and not visit this temple of art. The tour guide was very good and very detailed in presenting all the history as he guided us through the museum. We would have liked to have access to the inside of the theater as well, but there was a performance rehearsal at the time of our visit.

Outstanding guide. Unfortunately the main reason for taking the tour , was not to tour the museum , but to see the interior of La Scala theatre and it was in darkness ( with only a floodlight narrowly on the stage as there was a rehearsal for the next night's opera. So the whole point of the tour was nullifieds

The tour was good , not too long ,only one hour.Unfortunatley when we visited they were doing some renovations and cleaning so the view of the theater was not ideal .The theater is not as impressive as Paris Opera but given it's significant role on world's cultural stage it is definitely worth a visit
