Stepping inside means entering a world where passion, art, and history blend in perfect harmony.

With the guidance of an expert storyteller, you will explore the halls and galleries while uncovering curiosities and tales of the artists who shaped the international music scene.

Nice little museum that tells the story of La Scala and features portraits of many famous opera stars. Situated next to La Scala.
Professional guide speaking excellent English, real enthusiast of history and music who showed us round the opera house and museum. We bought a group guide and got a private event just for two of us including a view to a balet rehearsal. Fantastic experience!
Our guide was informative and very friendly. We felt very special as she lead us inside the theater taking about new and past seasons, lead singers, and the story of the theater. She was paying attention to our interest in her presentation and she cared to provide detailed answers to all our questions. The La Scala Museum is superb! And we were lucky to attend the last day(!) of the La Scala Ballet Company fantastic exhibition. It is easy to criticize anything. Much more difficult is to find a guide that devoted to the institution she represents, that patriotic of her Theater and that emotional and excited about her role as a La Scala ambassador! Thank you!!
We had an excellent tour with Simon and learned all about La Scala and the wonderful history of this amazing building. Simon was a fountain of knowledge and his stories kept the tour interesting and memorable!
Today we had an amazing guided tour of Scala. It was the best tour we’ve ever had. Lorella is an amazing guide. I have visited many opera houses , musical instruments museums and composers’ homes. I have never had a tour like this before. It is also important to note that even though there were very few of us, the tour wasn’t cancelled. Thank you Lorella for this unique experience. Our teenage daughters didn’t realize how time flew by. As they said, it was the first time they enjoyed a guided tour. Don’t miss it! If Lorella is your guide , we will be very lucky to!!!
Our guide (Lauralel - not sure of spelling) was one of the best we’ve ever experienced. Funny, charming with deep knowledge of the opera house, Milan history, backstage stories and architecture. Highly recommend!
A very interesting museum that showcases both musical instruments and beautiful works of art. I even saw a ballet costume exhibition, which added an immersive touch to the whole experience. It’s a wonderful place for anyone who loves music, theatre, and the performing arts – elegant, inspiring, and full of history.
Reasonably priced entry fees, especially for students. I originally wanted to get in around 1 pm at lunchtime, but the woman at the entrance told me that the lights in the theatre wouldn't be on until 4 pm in the afternoon because of an ongoing rehearsal on stage. That was very forthcoming on her part, and not something that you can take for granted. So I came back in the afternoon and all around, the visit was a pleasant experience. I especially loved the photographs and costumes exhibited here, but unfortunately, the majority of the museum has next to no text tags displayed next to the paintings (or just in Italian), which didn't motivate me as a non-Italian speaker to stick around for long. It would have been more considerate for international visitors to have more information in English.
We had a guided tour and to be honest I felt a bit ripped off. Yes it was good to see the theatre from a box (5minutes) and then a tour of the small museum but there really wasn't much to see . No look behind the scenes or see the magnificent mechanics behind the stage set up. A real pity that such an awesome place allows for tacky tourist light visit instead of giving a real tour of interest. I would not recommend it. There's a better display and video at the museum of science where they have some of the original stage mechanism and a great video about la Scala history and the stage mechanism
Loved the visit..so impressive. Our guide Lara told us so much about the theatre and the history of the plays and artists. We had the chance to see the set up of the stage which was just amazing
