15 minutes with Leonardo's masterpiece. Only 30 people at a time. The most restricted artwork in the world.
Plan your Italy trip →You pass through three climate-controlled airlocks (the painting is that fragile) and enter the refectory. The Last Supper fills the far wall — 4.6 x 8.8 meters, larger than you expect. The composition draws your eye to Christ at the center. The apostles' reactions ripple outward. Judas clutches his money bag. The perspective lines converge on Christ's head. Leonardo engineered every element. You have 15 minutes to absorb it. The timer is real.
This is arguably the most famous painting in the world after the Mona Lisa — and unlike the Mona Lisa (which is small, behind glass, surrounded by 500 phones), you see the Last Supper at full scale, in the room it was painted for, with only 29 other people. The intimacy is extraordinary.
